The Brief: Apple's announcement of its new AirPods Pro spawned many memes about this product and its appearance.
DEEP DIVE
On Monday, Apple announced the debut of AirPods Pro: a $249 pair of premium noise-canceling wireless earbuds available starting October 30. AirPods have long been the subject of memes and this new version inspired an influx in AirPods Pro memes, many of which joke about their appearance.
Many AirPods Pro memes likened them to the Pokémon Bellsprout, because of their tubular, bell-shaped tops.

Some of you are gonna go to sleep wearing these noise canceling AirPods as if you’ve never seen an episode of Black Mirror and I hope you have the nightmares you’re asking for.
