User level: Level 1 (4 points)I bought AirPods Pro 3 from Amazon. The packaging was genuine but on the casing it says 'Designed dy Apple in California', Is that a genuine typo or have I been scammed? Please help me out. When I connect it on my Macbook Pro, it shows as if it's genuine with all the Transparency, Noise Cancellation features.

Sorry, but there is no way anyone here can guarantee what you purchased is genuine or not just by looking at photos. If you suspect that your purchase is a fake, you will need to work with Amazon to return them for a full refund.
As I'm sure you already know, Amazon works with many suppliers ... some more reputable than others. The bottom line, is if you want to be sure you purchase a genuine Apple product, you should purchase it directly from Apple.
