I’ll note Apple hasn’t shipped an Nvidia card in a very very long time. Even on the Mac pros before Apple Silicon they only ever sold AMD cards.
My understanding from rumors is that they had a falling out over the problems with the dual GPU MacBook Pros and the quality of drivers.
I have no idea if sticking one in on the PCI bus let you use it for AI stuff though.
I imagined the convo between Steve Jobs and Jensen Huang went like this:
S: your GPU is shit
J: your thermal design is shit
S: f u
J: f u too
Apple is the kind of company that hold a grudge for a very long time, their relationships with suppliers are very one way, their way or the highway.
