Apple has introduced a special edition of its AirPods 5 exclusively for the Indian market, just in time for the festive season. This unique release features an intricate rangoli-inspired design engraved on its Wireless Charging Case, blending traditional Indian artistry with modern technology.
Limited Edition AirPods 5: Design and Availability
The special edition AirPods 5 are available in limited quantities, making them a unique collector's item.

Customers can purchase these distinctive AirPods through Apple Store Online, the Apple Store app, and at Apple's six retail locations across India, including stores in BKC, Borivali, Saket, Noida, Hebbal, and Koregaon Park.

To coincide with the launch, Apple is also rolling out a range of festive offers for customers purchasing its products. From October 11 to November 11, 2026, buyers can take advantage of:

These benefits are subject to specific terms and conditions applicable to eligible purchases.
“Today at Apple” Rangoli Sessions Expand Globally
Beyond product sales, Apple is extending its cultural engagement by offering free “Draw Your Own Rangoli on iPad” sessions. Led by artist Arushi Kathuria, these interactive workshops will run from October 14 to November 9, 2026. Participants will learn to create rangoli designs using Procreate, Apple Pencil, and a custom powder brush. Significantly, these sessions, originally developed in India for the “Today at Apple” program, will be offered internationally for the first time in select markets including the US, Canada, Malaysia, and Singapore. In India, Apple BKC unveiled a grand rangoli design on October 11, and an online rangoli experience is also available for wider participation.
Enhanced Retail Services and Customer Experience
Apple continues to emphasize its comprehensive retail services to enhance the customer experience. These services include free engraving on eligible AirPods, iPad, AirTag, and Apple Pencil products, allowing for further personalization. Customers can also benefit from video consultations with specialists, complimentary online personal sessions for purchases made via Apple Store Online, and a variety of free “Today at Apple” workshops. The Apple app offers personalized recommendations and order tracking, with flexible delivery and pickup options depending on the product and location.
Apple's six stores in India are designed to incorporate local cultural elements, reflecting the company's commitment to integrating with the community. This approach is evident in designs such as the peacock-inspired identity seen at its newest stores, which aim to create a culturally rich shopping environment.
