America’s 250th anniversary time capsule is being buried to represent life in 2026, with an unsealing date set for 2276, according to reports. The capsule is described as a large, nationwide commemoration effort that includes items from across the United States. Among the artifacts planned for future discovery is an iPhone 17 Pro Max, specifically cited as being in a “Cosmic Orange” color. The capsule also includes an AI-generated prediction and other items intended to capture aspects of everyday life and culture during the current era. Separate coverage highlights that the selection is meant to provide a snapshot of the country at 250 years old, rather than a single category of memorabilia. The capsule is scheduled to be opened for the nation’s 500th anniversary in 2276, creating a long-term archive for future generations. The reports do not indicate how the phone and other items are preserved, but they present the iPhone 17 Pro Max as part of the planned contents of the time capsule.
