I'm conflicted on AirPods 3 vs. AirPods Pro like no Apple product before. I really want noise cancellation, but I've never worn the Pros more than 5 minutes and I'm concerned about the fit. AirPods 2 fit great for me. What to do!

In a memo, Apple says it plans to restore a mask requirement for staff and customers at most of its US retail stores on Thursday, due to rising COVID cases

Masking at stores I've visited was already better than almost anywhere except airports and public transit. I like to think that Apple Stores attract a more discerning customer base than the public at large.

Recently Apple changed the wording on its online store page from “Genius Support” to “Apple Support,” which I thought was curious. Now we see the same on India's store page. Does “Genius” perhaps not localize well, & consistent branding is more important? https://www.apple.com/... https://twitter.com/...
