A video posted to YouTube by unboxing specialist Unbox Therapy on Thursday shows off Apple's in-house designed Face Mask and recently adopted ClearMask.
The rather lengthy video offers the first close look at Apple's face mask, designed by the company's Engineering and Industrial Design teams specifically for use by corporate and retail employees during the coronavirus pandemic.
Each box comes with five sealed masks and adapters that allow users to join the ear loops behind the head for a more secure fit. Instructions printed on the sealed packages are done in typical Apple fashion and inform users to wash their hands, open the mask, and adjust the straps to fit.
Similar to Apple's consumer offerings, the boxes are emblazoned with the familiar "Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in China" notice and what appears to be a serial number, lot number and production date stamp.
Apple does not provide a classification rating, such as N95, but anecdotal testing finds the membrane effective at blocking air moving out of a user's mouth.
The Apple-designed mask comes in a variety of sizes and can be washed up to five times.
"It feels very secure. I definitely feel more sealed off than a standard surgical mask." he says.
Hilsenteger also appreciates that the masks feel sturdy compared to surgical masks, which have strings that easily break.
Unfortunately, Apple fans cannot purchase the coverings, since they're only made for employees. But there are plenty of other masks available. Our favorites include the lightweight Uniqlo AIRism Mask and Under Armour SportsMask. Or, check out one of the many options that give back to nonprofit charities through a portion of sales.
