Apple's AirPods only come in one color, but the company does offer another way to personalize your wireless earbuds - by adding an engraving to their charging case.
Now, Apple is expanding this customization option with the ability to engrave an emoji into the case, as blogs such as 9to5Mac and MacRumors first noticed. Previously, Apple only allowed text inscriptions.
However, there are a limited number of emojis available to choose from. Options include the standard smiley face, thumbs up, fist bump, heart, and animals such as the unicorn, cat, dog, and bear among other symbols. Like the text engravings, the emoji options are available for free across all of Apple's AirPods offerings, including the $250 AirPods Pro, $160 AirPods, and $200 AirPods with the wireless charging case.
AirPods have been hugely successful for Apple since the product debuted in 2016. The product has boosted the company's growth in the wearables industry, helping to offset declining iPhone revenue. As they've grown in popularity, accessory makers have released dozens of different types of cases, covers, and other add-ons for Apple's cord-free earbuds. Some retailers like Nordstrom, for example, have even started selling straps to prevent you from losing a single AirPod - which Apple charges $69 to replace for a standard AirPod and $89 for the Pro.
If you're purchasing a pair of AirPods and want to add an emoji to the charging case, here's how to do it:
