they said 18k gold which is not pure gold by definition.

let me just check my figures real quick here

I'm bored, lets do some math.


The molar mass of gold is 197g, and boron carbide is 55.255g

18k gold like what is used in the apple watch is 75% gold by mass.

So for a 100g object, that would be 75g gold, 25g boron carbide. This is equivalent to 0.3807 mole of gold and 0.4524 mole of boron carbide. This is a ratio of 1 molecule gold to 1.188 molecules of boron carbide in apple gold.

Taken from that article, the density of pure gold is 19.3g/cc and the density of apple gold is 7.24 g/cc.

Now that we have all the numbers to calculate how many molecules are in a given volume of each material, lets start with pure gold.

(19.3 g/cc) / (197 g/mol) = 0.09797 mol/cc of pure gold

Now for apple gold, add the number of molecules per volume from both the gold and boron carbide parts. The overall density is 7.24 g/cc. The gold contributes 5.43 g/cc and the boron carbide contributes 1.81 g/cc.

(5.43 g/cc) / (197 g/mol) + (1.81 g/cc) / (55.255 g/mol) = 0.02756 mol/cc of gold + 0.03276 mol/cc of boron carbide = 0.06032 mol/cc for apple gold.

The molecules are farther apart.

jony why

I was doing pure gold, but lets check out the 18k alloy mentioned in that article as well for good measure.

75 % gold
15% silver
10% copper
measured by mass

This has a density of 15.6 g/cc as mentioned in the article, the contributing components are:

Gold at 11.7 g/cc
Silver at 2.34 g/cc
Copper at 1.56 g/cc

Dividing my molar mass, we get
Gold at 0.05939 mol/cc
Silver at 0.02169 mol/cc
Copper at 0.02456 mol/cc

For a grand total of: 0.10564 mol/cc

In conclusion, jony ive is a liar.

instead of doing the gold alloy in the article, which is probably pulled out of his rear end, maybe u should compare it to the gold alloys used by other watchmakers??

Hrm yes, after looking at the internet it seems that 75% gold, 16% silver, 9% copper might be a more popular yellow gold alloy. That isn't different enough from what I did for me to math again, be assured the molecules in that are also closer together than apple gold.

i heard that apple gold is so amazing that even the world's best scientists can't even call it gold, it's better than that. it's molecular makeup is so different, it's unlike any gold they've ever seen.

it's Apple Gold.
