Apple and NVIDIA have been in each other's bad books since the 2012 Macbook Pro incident where discrete GPUs of those devices got hot beyond their thermal specs and melted themselves out of the soldered sockets, which NVIDIA refused to compensate Apple for. I know, because I had one of those. Apple took the hit to repair those Macbook Pros even while out of warranty, even if it was ultimately NVIDIA's poor engineering. They've not worked with each other since. 2012 Apple was pretty much the height of the quality apex.
