I'm glad to see Apple addressing the noise problem in its stores. My nearest Apple Store, La Cantera in San Antonio, open since 2005, was built with a flat, reflective ceiling. That along with reflective flooring, tables, and walls make having a conversation difficult. 

I've always loved this particular store and have been connected with many employees, but the noise really gets in the way. 

I saw an article somewhere a couple of years ago about one of the stores in the Seattle area, and it showed the wooden ceiling with thousands of tiny dimples in it, which I assumed were there to improve acoustics. Tried to find someone who'd written about it but no luck. 

It's good to see Apple is working to control the noise. 

More pertinent questions:

How was it determined these employees tested positive for CV? What tests were used? What is the accuracy, reliability, and rate of false positives for the test?

How many of the "positive" employees, if any, have symptoms of illness?

Questions I want answered:

Because Apple has been pushing jabbinations hard, what portion of these employees who tested "positive" had already been "vaccinated"?

The assumption is being made these employees became positive because of contact with people in the store. How do we know this? 

What variants did these people test positive for, Covid Classic, Delta, or Omicron, and how do the testing protocols distinguish between the variants?

Vampire squid, aka Goldman Sachs, is one of *the* worst AAPL analcysts around.

Never a fan of what Steve would have though articles or comments....oh well. Nobody truly knows what Steve would have though. I guess it was kind of a Steve Job jobs type Keynote, especially the movies portion at the end. I will say that was very well done. Hopefully it turns out as good as the Keynote did in the end. 

Frankly I can’t believe any legitimate article, opinion or not, would trade on the concept of “Steve Jobs would have ....”. And I’m absolutely stunned AI would do it. Such articles completely undermine the credibility of not just the person presenting the article, but the website itself.
