    TechCrunch reports Huang used Apple's unreleased foldable phone

    TechCrunch noted that while attention focused on Trump's call, Huang took it on Apple's new foldable phone, a $1,999 device not due to launch for five weeks, and framed it as a signal of Apple's renewed reliance on Nvidia hardware a decade after dropping it from its own products.

    “A decade after Apple stopped putting Nvidia hardware in its own devices, it now needs Nvidia enough to run part of Apple Intelligence on it.”
