It's funny that the first "Apple Music Awards" to be held today at Apple Park have silicon as the protagonist, but that's the way it is. And it is that the company itself clearly explains the material with which the prizes that will be distributed to the artists and silicon is part of other materials.
Normally for those who do not know the uses of this material we will tell them that the chips of all devices carry it. Apple always wants to stand out for some reason and in this case the prizes that they will deliver today They have a silicon sheet suspended between a layer of polished glass, all in a structure made of anodized aluminum.
This is how Apple itself explains the material chosen for the manufacture of these awards that will be distributed among the musical artists awarded at the first "Apple Music Awards":
Apple created these awards to celebrate the incredible craftsmanship that goes into making music. All accolades feature an Apple exclusive silicon sheet suspended between a layer of polished glass and a machined anodized aluminum frame. These blades are in principle perfect 30 cm diameter discs with a millimeter smooth surface. Layers of copper are then added with ultraviolet lithography to create connections between the billions of transistors. The result of this process, which takes several months, before fragmenting into hundreds of individual chips, is both surprising and unique. It is still symbolic: the same chips that power the devices that put all the music in the world in the hands of users are the same ones that make up the essence of the Apple Music Awards.
There is no doubt that even the materials chosen for the physical award are part of the show that Apple wants to give this afternoon in Cupertino, where the singer Billie Eilish will be one of the main protagonists of the event.
