Premium-pricing Memes

The ultimate tech industry crossover that nobody asked for but everyone needs. Tim Cook (Apple's CEO, not Nvidia's Jensen Huang) is presenting what appears to be an RTX graphics card styled like an iPhone or MacBook Air, complete with that iconic Apple minimalist aesthetic and the classic "$1,999" price tag that makes your wallet cry in Cupertino. The joke hits on multiple levels: Apple's notorious premium pricing strategy meets Nvidia's already eye-watering GPU prices. Imagine paying two grand for what's basically an "RTX Air" – thinner, lighter, and probably throttles performance to preserve that sleek design. No headphone jack for your GPU fans, obviously. Sold separately: the $299 DisplayPort to USB-C dongle you'll need to actually connect it to a monitor. The "Availability Starting January" is chef's kiss – because whether it's Apple or Nvidia, you know there'll be supply shortages and scalpers camping outside stores. At least it would come in Space Gray?
