During a White House press conference about Apple's new US manufacturing initiatives, CEO Tim Cook gifted President Donald Trump a unique piece of iPhone glass from Corning mounted on a 24-karat gold base. The glass disc features the Apple logo, Trump's name on top, and Cook's signature with "Made in USA 2025" inscribed. Designed by a former Marine now at Apple, the gold base originates from Utah. The gift underscores Cook's close rapport with Trump, amidst Trump's push for US-based manufacturing and tariff threats to phone makers.
