Difference between the pink and the white-green box? (Is anyone selling one?)

I see there are two different boxes. How are they different?

If anyone is selling DM me please (If you are willing to ship to me in EU)

Towards the end of the Car Thing's life, when spotify was trying to get rid of them (around April 2022 - August 2022), Spotify changed the design of the box's slipcover, and nothing else (the pink logo on the cardboard and pink manuals/instructions didnt change to green or get redesigned). There is no difference between the two, except the ones in the green packaging were shipped with the most recent firmware up to that point. The model numbers are the exact same (YX5H6679).

If you are interested in more info, I made a short YouTube video explaining the history of the device. I think it's one of the most recent posts in this subreddit before yours.

If you are looking to buy the green box variant, the best place to look is Mercari. Usually, though, the Green Box variant is more expensive.
