The fact that they didn’t catch high thermal conductivity induced water condensation during testing makes me pause.
They could use some cool composites typically used for the military from 3M if they wanted to fix it though. Curious to see if gen 2 is plastic or not...
"In Cupertino, the summers are long, comfortable, arid, and mostly clear and the winters are short, cold, wet, and partly cloudy. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 43°F to 76°F and is rarely below 36°F or above 85°F."
That's not "Sunnyday Perfect Weather California" to the effect that it would have thrown the AirPods Max design off ("wow, other places go cold/wet? Who knew!").
The parent said "Sunnyday Perfect Weather California", imagining the whole of a huge state (and especially the Bay Area) as some LA/San Diego style constant sunshine...
I mean, the point is that the weather conditions in San Francisco are pretty non-representative.
It’s not like, for example, the Northeast where during a cold winter day I pretty much expect my glasses to totally fog up instantly when transitioning between outdoors and indoors.
The NE is pretty "non-representative", too. What is this "cold winter day" you speak of?
This whole portion of the thread is kind of pointless anyway, unless someone truly believes the design spec for the ambient operating temperature limits was based on local Bay Area weather.
