By far the most interesting admission from a brief flip-through:
Consider how environmental factors impact your app. The characteristics of your physical environment can affect system load and thermals of the device. Consider the effect that ambient room temperature, the presence of other people, and the number and type of real-world objects can have on the your app‘s algorithms.
The fact that they’re so prominently focusing on this seems like a soft indication that this device (at least in V1?) is not suited for exercise or sunny outdoor use. Which makes sense, but adds some finality to a “will people use these outside/in public” discussion I was having on here last week
