>“I want a 3.5K Apple Vision Pro but I can’t wear it naked” is something Apple didn’t think through?

Well yes, they obviously didn't think through apparently, because, and this might come as a shock to Apple designers in Cupertino, but not all of us are Californians sitting in our air conditioned homes wearing long jeans pants and Patagonia jackets indoor in high summer because our home AC is set to a frosty 20C (68F).

In my part of Europe, July and August are unbearable and there's no residential AC in apartments here, so sitting naked at home or in underwear is the only way to make it through these torrid summer months.

Not to be snarky, but you have $3500 of disposable income to blow on a pair of fancy VR goggles... but not enough money to afford a window AC unit?

[ChuckNorris89]

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.
