Apple Vision Pro – Hardware Issues

European windows don't slide up like Americana ones to support cubic window mounted AC units, and many offices in the old town don't have AC and everyone is peak summer sweating bullets in t-shirts instead of wearing 2 layers and a jacket like in US offices.

Also, I wasn't being snaky at all, Apple is not the only Bay Are corporation to designing consumer products around the climate and lifestyle of the people working for them, omitting the other global demographics that face different climate challenges and lifestyles of those in California.

How much are you willing to bet, that the second gen will feature a better battery support as the first gen will get criticized for this?

Imagine walking in to your boss and saying "boss, the battery pack works, but some sweaty Europeans may be forced to sit naked in their uncooled apartments without a belt to hang it on. I think we should delay the launch."

This is a very odd take. Southeast Asians and Louisianans work in conditions that are technically considered "uninhabitable" by OSHA. The response isn't working naked. It is not a use case that any company would consider primary.

Also, you know, you can always put on a belt without clothing.

Not only Europeans... It is simply more comfortable, AC or not. But honestly I imagine I can just leave the battery pack lying besides me or wear some shorts or even buy some underwear with pockets (no way I'm doing this last one though) so it shouldn't be a big issue.
