Comments on: Apple Retail Store to See ‘Experts’ in a Few Short Weeks http://www.imore.com/2010/01/16/apple-retail-store-experts-matter-weeks/ More of everything iPhone and iPad Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:55:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gerry http://www.imore.com/2010/01/16/apple-retail-store-experts-matter-weeks/comment-page-1/#comment-108982 Gerry Sun, 17 Jan 2010 11:05:28 +0000 http://www.theiphoneblog.com/?p=19093#comment-108982 <p>As far as terminology goes, I would expect a "genius" to know more than an "expert". And since the Apple stores are already staffed with "geniuses" that can't tell me which accessories are compatable with my iPhone 3GS, the addition of experts doesn't excite me. On a related note, why is it so hard to know which accessories dock with each product? Are they deliberately trying to keep the information hidden to give the impression that more products play together than actually do? Is there a definitive guide anywhere that tells me whether an iPod dock will work with my iPhone? For even something as low-tech as a case, one "genius" told me old ones wouldn't fit. Another said it would. I asked her to prove it on her own phone before buying (she did).</p> As far as terminology goes, I would expect a “genius” to know more than an “expert”.

It seems the difference between a Genius and an Expert is that the Expert gets to walk around the store and help people at the displays?

When do they unleash God Mode?
