    I see no downsides to this tech compared to regular fans. These are quieter, smaller, and they’re unlikely to break.

      The video also highlights the disadvantages compared to traditional fans:

      • slightly less energy efficient
      • weaker
      • concerns about ozone
      • concerns about attracting dust

        Those are not disadvantages to apple, if anything, it makes the planned obsolescence an easy task. Gimme dat dust!

        The video says ozone is addressed by a using a copper catalyst. It is slightly weaker and energy efficient, but as the video points out, it just means designing around it. The dust might be an issue, but given it’s blowing air out, I’d expect that kind of solves the problem.
