Apple celebrates Chinese Lunar New Year

“As part of ongoing festivities to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year this weekend, Apple is highlighting apps and stickers in the App Store in new curated lists, while some Apple retail stores are hosting specially themed workshops,” Malcolm Owen reports for AppleInsider.
