An unmistakably Apple award
Apple has designed a series of awards to celebrate the extraordinary art of musical creation. Each prize is composed of a custom-made silicon wafer, suspended between a polished glass plate and a machined and anodized aluminum body. At the beginning of the manufacturing process, the wafers are composed of a silicon disk about 30 cm wide and uniform at the nano metric level. The copper layers are deposited and modeled by ultraviolet lithography to create connections between billions of transistors. The result of this long process, before it is cut to create hundreds of chips, is unique and surprising. As a symbolic gesture, at the heart of the Apple Music Awards are the same chips that we find in devices that bring music from around the world to your fingertips.
