Novas tarifas sobre importações nos EUA poderão afetar produção de iPhones

24 July 2026 at 18:25

O governo dos Estados Unidos aplicou uma tarifa de 10% para importações de cerca de 60 países, incluindo alguns dos territórios onde os produtos da Apple são montados.

Resultado de uma investigação conduzida pelo Representante de Comércio dos Estados Unidos (United States Trade Representative, ou USTR) sobre o possível uso de trabalho forçado na produção de bens, as novas medidas tributárias entram em vigor hoje, substituindo a tarifa geral de 10% sobre importações imposta pela administração de Donald Trump, que deixou de valer após decisão da Suprema Corte americana.

O memorando publicado pela Casa Branca prevê algumas exceções à aplicabilidade do imposto, isentando itens que causam impactos econômicos generalizados caso sejam tarifados, além de produtos que não possam ser produzidos em quantidade suficiente ou a preços competitivos nos EUA — o que hipoteticamente poderia ser uma brecha para a Apple, que poderia argumentar não ter capacidade de realocar a sua cadeia de suprimentos para o território americano sem comprometer os preços praticados.

O documento ainda prevê isenção das tarifas para produtos em que a medida não contribui de forma significativa para eliminar as práticas que motivaram sua elaboração.

É difícil afirmar com precisão como isso impactará os produtos da Apple, mas no âmbito das empresas impactadas pela medida, estão as operações da Foxconn, uma das principais parceiras da Maçã na montagem dos seus produtos. A empresa, vale lembrar, foi denunciada em 2025 por apresentar más condições de trabalho aos seus empregados durante a produção do iPhone 17, acarretando investigações das denúncias por parte da própria Apple.

Por tudo isso, é razoável afirmar que as isenções não deverão se aplicar aos produtos da Apple de imediato — e o CEO 1Chief executive officer, ou diretor executivo. da empresa, Tim Cook, poderá ter que entrar em campo novamente para negociar novos termos com o presidente Trump, antes mesmo de deixar o cargo para John Ternus.

Goooool v goal: English speakers flock to Telemundo for lively World Cup coverage

The Spanish-language broadcaster has won over millions of US viewers with its energetic commentary during games

Soccer fans looking to watch the 2026 World Cup on US television have been presented with two very different options this tournament.

The first is Fox Sports, a cousin of Fox News owned by the same parent company and the sole network airing matches in English in the US. Audiences tuning in to Fox, which acquired the exclusive English broadcast rights in 2015, are met with coverage that reflects the network’s “America first” aesthetic, with promos for pro-Donald Trump talkshows, advertising breaks during games and the frequent, grating presence of host Alexi Lalas.

A Remarkable 400,000-Year-Old “Time Capsule” Unsealed in Israel Could Reshape Our Understanding of Early Human Evolution

12 June 2026 at 13:09


Archaeologists working with the Israeli Antiquities Authority have announced the discovery and excavation of a cave located just outside the town of Fureidis, which has revealed signs of early human presence dating back to between 250,000 and 400,000 years ago.

The team of researchers behind the ongoing excavation said the fortuitous discovery could represent a “time capsule” that has remained sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, offering researchers an unprecedented glimpse into a critical period in human evolution.

Ancient Cave Contains Evidence of Critical Period in Human Evolution

According to a statement emailed to The Debrief, the ancient cave, which lies south of Haifa, near the Zikhron Ya’akov interchange, likely dates back to sometime between 400,000 and 250,000 years before present. The team notes that the range would mean it was sealed since the time of the Acheulo-Yabrudian culture, a period when ancient human ancestors began to display several complex tool-making skills, including various stone blade designs which were in use by hominins until around 300,000 years ago, marking the end of the Lower Paleolithic period.

“The culture we are investigating here was characterized by a variety of advanced methods for producing flint tools, including small sharp handaxes, scrapers, and blades,” explained Dr. Kobi Vardi, head of the Prehistory Branch at the Israel Antiquities Authority and the study’s co-director.

Most archaeologists put the African departure date of the last common ancestor of humans and Neanderthals between 700,000 and 500,000 years ago, and the first genetic interbreeding between the two species around 130,000-1,000,000 years ago. Therefore, finding a sealed cave containing relics from the period between these two critical evolutionary junctures offers the research team an unprecedented opportunity.

“We have been fortunate to excavate a unique site of global importance that has been protected from the ravages of time thanks to the exceptional conditions that existed here,” said team member Professor Ron Shimelmitz of the Zinman Institute of Archaeology and the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures at the University of Haifa.

Dr. Vardi agreed, noting that “It is very rare to find a site in such a state of preservation.”

“Every prehistorian who visits the site is absolutely thrilled,” he added.

“The Seeds That Led to the Development of Our Complex Culture”

In that same statement, Prof. Shimelmitz noted that the end of the Lower Paleolithic was a “unique time period” before Neanderthals and modern humans became the dominant hominids of the era and spread across “many regions.”

“Only a handful of sites from this important phase have been uncovered in Israel, and the wider Levant, and most of them are inaccessible for research,” the professor explained, adding that marked changes in human physiology, technology, and social organization “foreshadowed the traits and complex behavioral patterns that developed later and characterize both Neanderthals and modern humans.”

One component that helped facilitate the development of complex culture, highlighted by Prof. Shimelmitz, is the transition from ancient humans living in larger groups. He also emphasized the advent of human ancestors “spending longer periods at the same sites.”

Early excavations have already uncovered evidence of what the researcher termed “intensive use of fire.” These early forays have also found signs of prolonged human activity. Prof Shimelmitz said these signs suggest a “complex and rich camp life.”

Dr Vardi said that the ongoing excavation is uncovering animal bones, including ancient specimens of fallow deer, gazelle, and an ancient variety of horse.

Dr. Vardi also noted that these finds were discovered “alongside evidence of the presence of water,” which he suggests may have made the ancient cave an attractive location for hunter-gatherer groups inhabiting the region at the time.

High Resolution Studies of How Ancient Humans Lived

When discussing the implications of their findings, Prof. Shimelmitz first expressed the team’s appreciation for the financial support and enthusiasm shown by the project’s sponsor, the Ayalon Highways Company, “in enabling us to undertake the excavation.”

As for the scientific value of their initial discoveries and the potential for further insights into this period in human history, the professor noted that findings to date are typically associated with “the development of social cooperation and the transmission of knowledge, as part of the processes of human evolution.”

Dr. Vardi echoed those sentiments, while also noting that the ancient cave’s archaeological value “is no less important” than that of the well-known Nahal Me’arot site from the same evolutionarily critical period.

“(This site) will allow us to study in high resolution how humans lived at that time,” the researcher added.

Given the importance the research team put on the site, which included co-leader Amit Gabbay, the Israel Antiquities Authority and the University of Haifa are already putting forth what they describe as a “large-scale research program that seeks to reconstruct how humans lived, adapted to their environment, and developed new lifestyles and technologies over the course of human evolution.”

Along with heralding the site’s scientific value, the researchers highlighted its cultural importance by declaring their goal to make the site “open and accessible to all: to the residents of Fureidis, students at the nearby school, and anyone interested in the prehistory of the region,” once the formal excavations are completed.
