The Chinese New Year officially begins on January 28 and it would be the year of the rooster.
Giving its the imminent arrival, Apple has created a section in his web targeted to Asian countries. There, they have posted a series of exclusive wallpapers that follow the traditional style of Nianhua created by five young Chinese artists using an iMac or an iPad.
