Apple just spent $500 million to source a material that's critical for iPhones from the US
Apple is investing $500 million in a deal with US rare earths company MP Materials as the iPhone maker faces pressure from President Donald Trump to produce its popular smartphones domestically. As part of the partnership announced on Tuesday, Apple committed to buying rare earth magnets directly from MP Materials to help bolster its US supply chain. Apple will also collaborate with the company on a new recycling line in California, which will repurpose recycled rare earth materials to use in Apple products. The move is part of a $500 billion investment Apple announced earlier this year to expand its US operations as the Trump administration pushes to onshore technology manufacturing and reduce reliance on China. Rare earths, which are critical for everything from smartphones to TVs and military jets, have been a key bargaining chip in trade talks between Washington and Beijing. That's because China controls nearly all rare earths processing. 'American innovation drives everything we do at Apple, and we're proud to deepen our investment in the US economy,' Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a press release. 'Rare earth materials are essential for making advanced technology, and this partnership will help strengthen the supply of these vital materials here in the United States.' MP Materials' facility in Fort Worth, Texas, will create new magnet manufacturing lines specifically for Apple products. Shipments are expected to begin in 2027 and will eventually support 'hundreds of millions of Apple devices,' according to MP Materials. The materials will be delivered throughout the United States and around the world. Apple says the expansion will create dozens of new jobs. Both companies will also provide training to develop a US workforce for magnet manufacturing. China has a virtual monopoly on rare earth elements, which are critical components for everyday products from smartphones to wind turbines to LED lights and flat-screen TVs. They're also crucial for batteries in electric vehicles as well as MRI scanners and cancer treatments. The name rare earths is also a bit of a misnomer. The materials are found throughout the Earth's crust but are difficult and costly to extract and process. China has the only equipment needed to process some of the various elements and currently controls 92% of the global output in the processing stage. While the MP Materials deal could help Apple curry favor with Trump amid tariff threats, it also aligns with Apple's efforts to incorporate more recycled materials into its products – a plan already in place long before Trump took office. The iPhone 16e, which launched earlier this year, includes 30 percent recycled content, for example. Apple says it uses recycled rare earths in its major products, including in magnets found in the latest iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBook and Mac models. The Trump administration has been pushing for Apple and other tech giants to produce their products in the United States rather than rely on assembly facilities and supply chain operations largely located in China, India and Vietnam. 'I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone's that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else,' Trump posted on Truth Social in May. 'If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S.' Apple hasn't discussed plans to move iPhone manufacturing to the US, and doing so seems unlikely. That's because it would require the tech giant to upend how it builds its most lucrative product. Critically, Apple and MP Manufacturing's collaboration involves developing the talent pool needed for magnet manufacturing. That's part of the reason why it's so challenging to move iPhone production to the United States – America lacks the highly specialized labor required to do so, experts have said. 'The expertise to make each of the components is something that has to be worked on for a long period of time,' David Marcotte, senior vice president at international market research company Kantar, previously told CNN. Cook has also spoken about the labor gap in the past, describing the workforce in China as being a combination of 'craftsman' skills, 'sophisticated robotics' and 'the computer science world' when speaking at a Fortune Magazine event in 2017. But the commitment to invest in US-sourced rare earths is likely to please Trump. The president has touted Apple's previous investment announcement as a victory in his efforts to boost American manufacturing. Apple is just one of many tech giants that have expanded their American footprint over the past several months. Texas Instruments committed $60 billion to make semiconductors in the United States in June, and Taiwanese chipmaking giant TSMC invested $100 billion in US manufacturing in March. Leading AI chipmaker Nvidia also said it would build its supercomputers in the United States in April. – CNN's Chris Isidore contributed to this report

Fitbit's Charge 6 fitness tracker is at its lowest price ever at Walmart
The Fitbit Charge 6 is one of the best fitness trackers we've tested, and down to an all-time low price of $93 ($66.95 off) at Walmart. The deal includes a six-month subscription to Fitbit Premium, a service that includes guided workouts, a wellness report, and other perks, and usually costs $10 per month or $80 per year. You can get the Charge 6 for $99.95 ($60 off), along with the same six-month subscription, at Amazon. The Fitbit Charge 6 features a haptic side button, an improved heart rate algorithm, turn-by-turn navigation with Google Maps, and the ability to broadcast your heart rate on certain Bluetooth gym equipment. Read our review. The Charge 6 is the only fitness tracker under $200 with an FDA-cleared EKG reader, and it's better at measuring your heart rate than its predecessor. It can also track your blood oxygen level, sleep, and activity. Fitbit made strides to reach feature parity with fitness smartwatches by adding Bluetooth compatibility with exercise equipment and an NFC chip to the Charge 6, which allows you to use Google Wallet. It also has apps for Google Maps and YouTube Music, so you can use those services without reaching for your phone. Verge reviewer Victoria Song's chief complaint with the Charge 6 was that enabling its always-on display reduced its battery life from seven days to two. You'll also need to have an active Google account because Fitbit has migrated away from its own account system. For an in-depth view of the Charge 6, you can read our review.

SanDisk 64GB mixroSDXC Card With Adapter Is Going for Nothing Thanks to Prime Day Effect
A lot of devices these days can have storage added via a microSD card. Seriously, consoles, phones, tablets, and even things like dash cams can sometimes be boosted with a good microSD card. It means that they stay in high demand pretty much all the time, which also means they hold their value really well. Because of this, any chance to save on a good microSD card is one that you should probably take if you've got a device that needs one. Right now, you can pick up a SanDisk 64GB Max Endurance microSD card with an adapter for just $16. It'd normally cost you $21, so while this is only a $5 reduction, that still equates to 24% off. That makes this thing an absolute steal, especially as these kinds of SD cards can be so useful. See at Amazon This style of microSD card is designed specifically for dash cams and security cameras. There are two reasons for this. The first is that it's designed to be able to be used over and over again over the course of a staggering amount of time. The other is that they're highly durable. It just means they do very well when outdoors, or in the kinds of temperature fluctuations you'd expect in a car. This particular microSD card is capable of being used to record and re-record up to 30,000 hours worth of video, which is a truly silly amount of hours. You could comfortably use this for over a decade without any major issues, and that's the kind of reliability you want from a microSD card. It's also the kind of reliability you want when using a security camera, so it's a great match. Then there's the durability. This thing's hardier than most homes. It's temperature-proof, waterproof, shockproof, and x-ray proof. It means that you'd have to really go for it to try and destroy it while it's in a device, at least when it comes to any conditions that might normally impact a security camera or a dash cam. You can even use this to save video in either full HD, which will allow for more video to be recorded at once, or in 4K, just in case you need the additional detail. This thing does an incredible amount of work for just $21, so being able to get it while it's down to just $16 instead is the kind of deal you should pounce on. See at Amazon
