+ People who talk to you with their AirPods in are douchebags, and there is no amount of try-hard, celebrity-filled ads that will ever change my mind about that.
Some people may be using it as a Hearing Aid's.
With things like this and transparency mode, the need to remove your AirPods to speak with someone else, should not longer be the mandatory etiquette.

I have this thing with Apple ads (call it a short film all you want, it’s not) that I also have with these almost perfect humanoid robots. They creep me out in a way I can’t fully explain. Perfectly crafted, yet completely soulless.

I miss the simple Apple ads, not these sophisticated ones that require a degree to understand.

What is the difference between an ad and a short film that serves as an ad?
