🇺🇸 To mark America's 250th anniversary, a massive time capsule was buried in Philadelphia — a nearly 900-pound stainless steel container holding hundreds of artifacts from all 50 states, Washington D.C., and five U.S. territories. It won't be opened until 2276, for the nation's 500th anniversary.
📱 Among the items is the iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange. The phone has "digital artifacts" saved in the Notes app for future generations to look through – assuming the device even turns on.
But that's the real problem:
🔋 Lithium-ion batteries degrade over time, so the odds of the phone powering on in 250 years are basically zero.
🔒 But even if the battery somehow survives, there's a bigger catch – unlocking an iPhone depends on Apple's servers, which may not even exist 250 years from now.
