Where will Tim Cook be on the Thursday before the iPhone 17 event? Back at the White House, it seems.
The Apple CEO gifted President Trump a big chunk of 24k gold with a piece of glass in August after announcing plans to make all iPhone glass in Kentucky.
29 days later, their next meeting will focus on AI, according to The Hill:
President Trump on Thursday will host two dozen high-profile tech and business leaders for the first event in the newly renovated White House Rose Garden, including Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and OpenAI founder Sam Altman, according to an invite list obtained exclusively by The Hill. The Rose Garden gathering is set to take place after CEOs and tech leaders attend a White House event on AI hosted by first lady Melania Trump.
Maybe Cook will bring a gold statue of the Apple Intelligence logo or something this time. One thing is certain: the Apple CEO will have plenty of industry colleagues to share the spotlight with on Thursday.
