These things have been completely standard fixtures elsewhere in the world for decades. I was honestly shocked that America, the land of air conditioning, had never heard of them.
They’re so ubiquitous in Australia it’s what we think of when we hear “air conditioner”.
When you shop for aircons they have to specify “cooling only” because reverse cycle is the default.
Any argument they make for iPads having USB-C is moot because they are still selling Lightning iPads.
