Reusable Face Mask (M/L, 2020)

Apple’s Reusable Face Mask (product MHJW3G/A) was created in-house by Apple’s product design teams. Business Insider reported that the mask “has three layers for filtering particles and can be washed and reused up to five times.” The mask “includes two flaps that extend the mask’s reach over the nose and chin” and “comes with an extra piece that allows you to connect the two ear straps around the back of your head for a more secure fit.”

The box comes with five sealed masks. The outer box packaging is white with light gray text. When the outer box flap is opened, the box interior reveals the two plastic clips that can be used to secure the elastic cords behind the wearer’s head.

Each individual mask is sealed in a paper package and includes five detailed icons to illustrate how to wear the mask and its features. The back of the envelope is printed with “Designed by Apple in California” and “Assembled in China.”

Over the years, I have acquired a few boxes of these masks. One box design differs in that it includes a barcode sticker on the top-center front of the box that reads: A807023 – WW, R99b – BYD – Particulate Mask – Large.

A detailed video is provided at Unbox Therapy where Lewis Hilsenteger discusses the Reusable Face Mask and explains its features.

The World Travel Adapter Kit includes seven plugs with prongs that fit the different electrical outlet types found around the world. The plugs work with iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Mac laptops using Apple USB-C Power Adapters; MagSafe/MagSafe 2 Power Adapters; 10W and 12W USB Power Adapters; and Portable Power Adapters.

AC power outlets supported include: North America, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, and Brazil.

This version of the World Travel Adapter Kit was released in 2015 and revised from the previous version by removing the iOS cable. According to MacRumors.com, “The new kit that Apple’s selling no longer includes a 30-pin to USB cable, and rather than adding a Lightning to USB cable, Apple has instead opted to ship the kit with no cable and drop the price by $10. ” The price for this kit was $29.
