Apple today has updated its online store to indicate it will soon start selling the Wynd Plus Smart Personal Air Purifier. This accessory packs USB-C and an accompanying iOS app to let you “create a bubble of clean air around you.”
The Wynd Plus is a small air purifier that you could theoretically take with you everywhere you go. It weighs in at less than a pound and is around the size of a bottle. Wynd touts that it features a “medical grade filter” to trap particles including pollen, pet dander, bacteria, and industrial pollution particles.
Everything is controlled via the Wynd application on iOS and it recharges via USB-C, though Wynd touts you’ll be able to go three months in between filter changes. Here’s the full feature list touted by Apple on the Wynd Plus product page:
It doesn’t appear that the Wynd Plus will support HomeKit, which is a common trend among smart air purifiers. It’s unclear if HomeKit support might come down the line, but it’s certainly something that would be nice to see sooner rather than later.
