Not only that, but another collateral effect of the AirPods is visible on the New York subway system. So much so that in 2019, the MTA was “considering issuing a PSA to ask commuters not to take their AirPods on or off while entering or exiting trains”.

If the ear (1) are a success - or if their design is revered - perhaps other companies will follow suit. They did exactly that with the white earphones, to the point where people started using them with non-iPod players.
Status symbols are very much alive. 😅
