    Abstract: An electronic device may be coupled to an accessory such as a pair of earphones. The earphones may have noise cancellation features that may be implemented using noise cancellation circuitry in the earphones or in the electronic device. The earphones may have ear presence sensor structures that determine whether speakers in the earphones are present at the ears of a user. In one suitable embodiment, control circuitry in the earphones may be used to adjust noise cancellation circuitry in the earphones based on information from the ear presence sensor structures. For example, the control circuitry may deactivate noise cancellation circuitry in response to receiving information from the ear presence sensor structures indicating that the earphones have been removed from a user's ears. In another suitable embodiment, control circuitry in the electronic device may adjust noise cancellation circuitry in the electronic device based on information from the ear presence sensor structures.

    Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device may include a first part coupled to a second part by a fastener. The first part may include a through hole and several spring elements that define the first through hole. The second part may include a through hole and several extensions that define the through hole. The electronic device may include a fastener used to secure the first part with the second part. In this manner, the fastener passes through respective through holes of the first part and the second part. Further, the fastener can engage and deform the spring elements such that the spring elements extend into the through hole of the second part. As a result, the spring elements are displaced and the fastener engages not only the spring elements but also the extensions. The parts may include circuit boards or sheet metal, as non-limiting examples.

    Abstract: An electronic device can include a housing at least partially defining an exterior surface and an internal volume of the electronic device, and an engagement feature affixed to the housing, the engagement feature including a shaft having a first diameter and a top portion having a second, larger diameter. A display component can be disposed in the internal volume and can define a retention feature including a first orifice having a diameter at least as large as the second diameter and a second orifice having a diameter less than the second diameter and at least as large as the first diameter, the first orifice intersecting the second orifice. The shaft can be disposed in the second orifice, and a securing component can be disposed between the display component and the housing.
