Apple to Make One Million Face Shields Per Week

By Rain Noe - April 7

This week Apple CEO Tim Cook took to Twitter to announce the company is making face shields, at a production target of one million per week, for healthcare professionals. (This is on top of the 20 million facemasks that supply-chain wiz Cook managed to summon up for donation.)

Like many of you, I screenshotted the crap out of the video, hoping to get a definitive look at the design:

Alas, it's not possible to see much detail:

It does look like they've done away with the bulkier forehead strip of the incumbent design, which makes me quite curious. I'm also wondering whether what you see above is the finished object, or if they will be adding some type of foam on the forehead strip. Any guesses?

There is a support doc for it. Looks like that's the finished product. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211028

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
