Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a speaker, control circuitry, a plurality of light-emitting components configured to emit light through an upper housing wall or other housing structure. A lens diffuser layer having lenses overlapping respective light-emitting components, a textured diffuser layer formed from textured coatings on a substrate, and a volume diffuser layer having light-scattering structures in a polymer layer might be included to project light from the light-emitting components. A light-guiding portion of the lens diffuser layer may guide light to a circular peripheral edge to form an illuminated ring visible through the upper housing wall.

Abstract: A vacuum generator is included within an accessory or an electronic device and generates a vacuum seal within mated connectors of the accessory and the electronic device to protect against ingression of moisture and/or debris. A vacuum release valve is used to break the vacuum seal and allow the accessory to be demated from the electronic device. A sensor is used to monitor the vacuum level.

Abstract: A charging case for a pair of wireless earphones comprising: a housing having a peripheral wall that defines a shell; a frame insert coupled to the housing and extending into the shell, the frame insert having one or more insert walls that define first and second pockets sized and shaped to accept first and second wireless earphones, respectively, wherein the one or more insert walls cooperate with the housing primary wall to define a sealed chamber within the charging case; a lid coupled to the housing and operable between a closed position in which the lid covers the first and second pockets and an open position in which the first and second pockets are exposed; a speaker module disposed within the sealed chamber, the speaker module comprising an audio driver having a diaphragm that separates a front volume of the audio driver from a back volume of the audio driver and a speaker vent disposed within the back volume; one or more first openings formed through the peripheral wall and opening into the front volume, wherein the audio driver is positioned and aligned to emit sound into the front volume and through the one or more acoustic openings; and one or more second openings formed through the peripheral wall at a location spaced apart from the front volume, wherein at least one of the one or more second openings is an acoustic vent acoustically coupled to the back volume of the audio driver through the speaker vent ear tip.

Abstract: A plug connector for an electronic device has a deformable seal positioned on it such that when the plug connector is mated to the electronic device a liquid-tight seal is formed between the plug connector and the electronic device. A seal may also be positioned within a receptacle connector cavity of the electronic device such that it forms a liquid-tight seal to a plug connector when the plug connector is mated to the electronic device.
