Apple creates face shield for health workers, resists the temptation to call it the 'iMask'

On a similar note, I keep reading these stories of companies putting the design and engineering teams to work to come up with their own unique design for face masks while the internet is already drowning in many, many design specs for masks. I don't think I've heard of a single report of a company saying, "hey, we got this free design off the internnt, confirmed it was good, and started making 1000's of them. Thanks designer, that saved us a couple of days of R&D and got the masks out the door quicker."

The cynic in me wonders if all these company designed ones have the company logo on them and how much that adds to the production process both in time and money. When you are making 1000's at high speed, an extra second per unit soon mounts up.
