Apple has designed a face mask to give to its employees to help curb the spread of the coronavirus.
The tech giant created the Apple Face Mask which was developed by the same teams that work on the iPhone and iPad designs, according to Bloomberg. Apple’s retail and corporate employees will reportedly start receiving the masks over the next two weeks.
The face mask is made up of three layers like other cloth face masks on the market and can be reused up to five times with washing. The Apple Face Mask also has adjustable strings and is designed to cover the nose without fogging up glasses, according to Mac Rumors.
Digital Trends reached out to Apple to find out more about the face masks, and if the company has any plans to distribute/sell the masks beyond its employees. We will update this story when we hear back.
Apple is also giving its employees the ClearMask, which is the first FDA-cleared completely transparent mask. The mask covers the wearer’s full face but is clear, so people who are deaf or hard of hearing can understand what the mask wearer is saying by looking at them.
Since Apple Stores started reopening after closing due to the coronavirus, customers are being provided with basic surgical masks in case they forgot their mask. It’s unclear if Apple will provide its new Apple-made masks to future customers in addition to its staff.
Apple started making face shields in April to distribute to frontline health care workers fighting the coronavirus. Apple CEO Tim Cook previously described the initiative as a “companywide effort bringing together product designers, engineering, operations, and packaging teams, and our suppliers to design, produce, and ship face shields for health workers.”

There was a time when Siri was the best voice assistant. Then it lost its crown to the likes of Google Assistant and Alexa. Now, with the rise of AI assistants like Google Gemini and ChatGPT Voice, the competition has become even more fierce.
Thankfully, after letting Siri stagnate for years, Apple has finally given it the attention it deserved. And while there's still a long way to go, I cannot deny that I am enjoying using this new Siri, and it has become more useful in my daily life than ever before.
Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week.
That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.
