Rumors hint Nvidia, Apple may get back together

For the last few years, #Apple has been an #AMD -only shop. Graphics may not be a core area that Apple focuses on — #OpenGL support in the latest version of #macOS remains stuck in 4.1 territory). But it does include discrete graphics cards in several of its #MacBook Pro and #iMac products, as well as in all of the Mac Pro SKUs. Now, there’s talk that Apple might switch back to Nvidia. Bloomberg first noticed multiple job listings at #Nvidia (some of which have since been edited) that talk about “help[ing] produce the next revolutionary Apple products” and claimed the role would require “working in partnership with Apple” and writing code that will “define and shape the future” of the Mac’s graphics software. There are also openings on the Mac driver team, and Nvidia doesn’t bother writing drivers and software for a platform it doesn’t intend to sell.
