The place will Tim Cook be on the Thursday earlier than the iPhone 17 event? Back at the White House, it appears.

The Apple CEO gifted President Trump a giant chunk of 24k gold with a bit of glass in August after saying plans to make all iPhone glass in Kentucky.

29 days later, their subsequent assembly will concentrate on AI, in response to The Hill:

President Trump on Thursday will host two dozen excessive-profile tech and enterprise leaders for the first event in the newly renovated White House Rose Backyard, together with Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft founder Invoice Gates and OpenAI founder Sam Altman, in response to an invitation checklist obtained solely by The Hill.

The Rose Backyard gathering is ready to happen after CEOs and tech leaders attend a White House event on AI hosted by first girl Melania Trump.

Perhaps Cook will deliver a gold statue of the Apple Intelligence emblem or one thing this time. One factor is definite: the Apple CEO can have loads of trade colleagues to share the highlight with on Thursday.
