USB Fan Resembles Design from Apple Computers
Billy Idol’s Hot in the City is the tune that comes to mind whenever talking about USB gadgets designed to keep you cool.
With summer coming into full swing, it’s a good time to mention a USB fan. While browsing Amazon, this Aikoper product caught our attention. At first glance, it honestly looked like something designed by Apple. The aluminum base, sleek black body, and cool gray vents gave it that unmistakable Apple-like aesthetic. Turns out, it’s not an Apple product at all.
This USB fan includes several features we think most people will appreciate.
There is no physical on/off switch. Instead, the fan is controlled by touching the aluminum base, which feels very Apple-esque. A single tap activates low-speed mode, a double tap switches to high speed, and a third tap turns the fan off. The touch-sensitive base includes four rubber pads to prevent vibration during operation.
The fan itself uses a dual-blade design. There are four blades toward the front of the shell and another four blades toward the rear. This configuration is intended to reduce operating noise while maintaining airflow.
The black shell is convex in shape, designed to pull air downward into the system rather than upward. While the pitch angle is limited, this airflow approach may reduce the amount of dust and debris drawn into the fan. The curved shell rests on the aluminum base and allows for slight tilt adjustments to aim airflow higher or lower during use.
The product measures 5.6 × 3.9 × 4.9 inches and sells for $16.99 USD on Amazon at the time of this post.
