Em mais um aceno ao governo dos Estados Unidos, a Apple anunciou hoje novas parcerias com empresas do seu país natal para o fornecimento de materiais para os iPhones 18 Pro/18 Pro Max e Duo.

Parte do American Manufacturing Program (AMP), essas parcerias incluem companhias como a Perryman Company, produtora de titânio do estado da Pensilvânia, e a Qnity Electronics, fabricante de tecnologias para câmeras do estado do Delaware.

Sabih Khan, COO ¹Chief operating officer, ou diretor de operações. da Apple, comentou o anúncio:

Estamos muito felizes em expandir nossa parceria com empresas que produzem materiais e componentes avançados para nossa nova linha de iPhones aqui mesmo nos Estados Unidos. A engenhosidade americana é vital para todos os nossos produtos, desde o titânio usado no iPhone Duo até as inovações revolucionárias em câmeras do iPhone 18 Pro. Temos orgulho de trabalhar com a Perryman e a Qnity Electronics para continuar expandindo nosso Programa de Fabricação Americana e apoiar a geração de empregos nos EUA.

Ainda segundo a Maçã, a Perryman receberá um investimento de US$100 milhões ao longo dos próximos três anos, que garantirá o fornecimento, para o iPhone Duo, de titânio de grau 5 com pelo menos 80% de material reciclado.

Parte do AMP desde março, a Qnity Electronics vai produzir filmes avançados para o novo sistema de câmera com abertura variável dos iPhones 18 Pro/18 Pro Max.

A Apple também aproveitou a oportunidade para relembrar outros investimentos em fabricantes americanos (ou com fábricas nos EUA), incluindo a Broadcom, que fornece chips de radiofrequência para seus dispositivos; a Corning, responsável pelos vidros Ceramic Shield; a Coherent, que produz componentes para o Face ID; a TSMC, que fabrica chips para todos os principais produtos da empresa; e a Amkor Technology, empresa de empacotamento de semicondutores.

It was a chance discovery: two years ago, metal detectorist Stephen Newbury had been searching for small items outside the village of Lynsted in Kent when he unearthed a tiny metallic object.

The small bit of metal was obviously ancient, appearing to have been made from copper alloy, depicting a decorative motif featuring a horned character with hands upraised.

Little did Newbury know at the time that the discovery would challenge archaeologists’ existing understanding of one of England’s most famous Anglo-Saxon-era sites.

Discoveries at Sutton Hoo

Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, England, is the site of one of the country’s most intriguing archeological discoveries. In 1938, an undisturbed ship burial was unearthed at the site during excavations by avocational archaeologist Basil Brown, which contained a trove of artifacts dating to the 6th and 7th centuries.

Among these items was a famous helmet, believed to have been associated with Anglo-Saxon leader Rædwald of East Anglia. As both a decorative piece and a functional implement of armor, the remarkable artifact is one of the most distinctive unearthed from the Sutton Hoo site.

Based on its crafting and style, archaeologists have long suspected the Sutton Hoo helmet may have origins near Uppland in eastern Sweden. However, the tiny square of bronze alloy recently uncovered in Kent is causing some archaeologists to rethink the origins of the famous implements of ancient Anglo-Saxon warfare unearthed at Sutton Hoo.

A First-of-Its-Kind Discovery

What Stephen Newbury discovered is more than just a tiny decorative scrap of metal: experts identify it as a small die stamp, known as a patrix, which would have been used in the decoration of armor like the varieties unearthed at Sutton Hoo beginning in the 1930s.

While also dated to the 6th or 7th century, the die unearthed at Kent marks an archaeological first—never has a similar object been found in England before now.

Given the similarities between the imagery the artifact conveys and the famous discoveries from Sutton Hoo, this raises an intriguing possibility: what if our presumptions about the likely origins of the famous discoveries at Suffolk in the 1930s are incorrect?

Ongoing Debate

Questions about the origins of the famous Sutton Hoo helmet have remained a matter of debate. Another recent discovery made on the island of Tåsinge, Denmark, suggests this also could be a promising location for the helmet’s origins, after the discovery of a similar patrix there in 2023.

Recent research at the National Museum of Denmark suggests that the appearance of an armored rider on a horse bears a noticeable resemblance to the famous Sutton Hoo helmet.

Peter Pentz, a specialist in Viking history at the museum, says this “points to a possible Danish connection,” adding that not only might these artifacts all have a common location of origins, but that they may even have been crafted by the same individual.

Expanding the Story of Ancient English Metallurgy

Before metal detectorist Stephen Newbury’s chance discovery, the Sutton Hoo helmet was among the only known Anglo-Saxon era helmets found in England that featured this specific style of die stamping (known as pressblech foils, as recently detailed at The History Blog).

Given the rarity of their discovery in England, it had been presumed that the Sutton Hoo helmet and similar headgear like helmets unearthed with the Staffordshire Hoard in 2009 had likely been brought to England from Sweden or Denmark.

Now, with Newbury’s discovery of a patrix near Kent, the question of whether such ornate Anglo-Saxon helmets could have been English originals—a possibility that raises the further question of whether more advanced metallurgy was being undertaken in the country at that time.

Altogether, Newbury’s discovery only underscores the fact that sometimes even the tiniest discoveries can have a profound impact. In this case, it could lead to a fundamental reshaping of England’s ancient history and some of the country’s most famous archaeological discoveries.

Anthropic's popularity with business users is growing so well that the latest beef with the government might actually boost it, data from Ramp suggests.

The most AI-obsessed firms are spending roughly $7,500 monthly per employee on AI, per Ramp AI Index. That's not more than an engineer's salary — yet.

Forty years ago, the future seemed just around the corner—and the vehicle that was going to take us there was NASA's Space Shuttle. Originally envisioned as part of a larger integrated space transportation system, the shuttle was billed as a fully reusable vehicle, totally unlike the one-and-done capsules of the fading Apollo era, capable of making monthly (and perhaps even weekly) ferry flights to low Earth orbit.

The shuttle, it was hoped, would transform human space flight from extraordinary to mundane. Brands like Coke and Pepsi were quick to hop aboard and expand the Cola Wars into space, and there were even plans to blast Sesame Street's Big Bird into orbit.

The loss of Challenger in January 1986—carrying educator Christa McAuliffe, who would have been the first private citizen in space—put the kibosh on all of that. The shuttle, while fantastically advanced, would never be the vehicle to help humankind slip all of our surly bonds, so to speak. Even operating at its most frantic peak in 1985 just before Challenger's loss, the shuttle hardware managed a maximum of nine flights in one calendar year; for most of the 1990s, it performed at five or six flights per year. Civilians in space—to say nothing of Big Bird—would have to wait.
