Apple's complex history with Nvidia explored in new report

Nvidia has gained significant value due to high demand for its AI server chips, primarily from companies like Amazon and Microsoft. However, Apple remains a minor customer, with a report highlighting a historically troubled relationship dating back to the 2000s. Despite past tensions, the report notes that Apple's current dealings with Nvidia are not entirely negative. Recent collaborations include joint machine learning research and Nvidia showcasing Apple's Vision Pro, indicating some level of cooperation. Apple has opted to rent Nvidia's GPUs through cloud services while developing its own AI server chip. This strategy aligns with Apple's broader goal of creating in-house technologies, reducing reliance on external suppliers, and improving integration across its products.
