Apple designs ‘Apple Face Mask’ for corporate and retail employees
Apple has designed a new protective mask for its corporate and retail employees called the “Apple Face Mask,” developed in-house by Apple’s Engineering and Industrial Design teams.
As reported by MacRumors, the new Apple Face Mask features a three-layer design that filters both incoming and outgoing particles like many cloth masks which can be washed and reused up to five times. The mask has a triangle shape to accommodate the nose without fogging glasses, a rounded section for the chin, and adjustable strings for the ears.
To improve communication with customers and colleagues, Apple is also rolling out completely transparent surgical masks designed and developed by ClearMask, the world’s first FDA-cleared completely see-through mask.
Bloomberg reports:
The Apple Face Mask is made up of three layers to filter incoming and outgoing particles. It can be washed and reused as many as five times, the company told employees. In typical Apple style, the mask looks unique with large coverings on the top and bottom for the wearer’s nose and chin. It also has adjustable strings to fit around a person’s ears.
