Adam Kos Apple is very good at its marketing. Its presentation of news, even within the Keynote just pre-recorded, they also have a great reach. No company manages to make similar events so big. And between the lines of these huge presentations, it often disappears who the functions are actually presented for.
World AppThe EU is now divided into EU and non-EU (with a lot of footnotes). The truth is that concessions due to EU regulations Apple he doesn't present too much, he likes it and highlights a lot things that only his customers in the domestic market can enjoy. We may not like it, but it is logical. After all, especially if you remember the situation when Apple it was not yet the company it is today.

But then there is a need for a hearing test in AirPods Pro 2, mirroring iPhone to Macand, indeed, the whole Vision Pro, or the entire product family HomePodBut if you remember when Apple introduced the first iPhone 2G, it never made it to the Czech Republic. When it introduced iPhone 3G, we only got it a few weeks later because we weren't in the first wave of distribution. Not even the first Apple Watch They didn't come to us immediately and we waited for them for half a year.

HomePode-shops are full of them and for Vision Pro you can go to our neighbors. If you already have the 100 thousand for it Kč, such a trip will certainly not limit you too much. It should therefore Apple stop advertising things we can't use? Certainly not.
