ICLUD is the main service of Apple, but it apparently considered the possibility of providing developers more.

developers often rely on cloud servers for various tasks, starting from data storage to processing outside the position. While the main names in this area include Microsoft, Amazon and Google, Apple could be a different name in the list.
In accordance with the sources of information, Apple internally considered the provision of restaurant servers for application developers for iPhone and Mac. The regulations that have occurred over the past few years have not yet led to the fact that such a service has existed, but there is a chance to ultimately appear.
The leaders suggested the use of their own chips on servers, which were used to fulfill the number of crispy customers for customers, including for artificial intelligence purposes. Nevertheless, supporters of the idea thought that Apple chips are so effective that developers could ultimately save money compared to current generation cloud services.
Unknown future
internal negotiations were largely headed by the head of Cloud Michael Ebbott, which was the most greater driving force of discussions. However, after leaving Apple in 2023, negotiations did not completely leave.
Discussions on this topic, apparently, took place in the first half of 2024, but it is not known if they occurred after this time. It is also not known whether the negotiations have died completely, or they continue on a smaller or more secretive scale.
thundersstruck
the idea of Apple uses the cloud services, which was reported earlier.
a secret project, internally known as “Project ACDC” (Apple Chips in Data Center Centers), surfaced in May 2024, as an apple attempt to develop Apple Silicon, specially for the special time using a farm on the server. Chips will be devoted to the processing of AI.
Part of this initiative was the creation of Creative Cloud Compute, which uses Mac Chips in Apple processing centers in order to process artificial intelligence. The Siri team was the first to try them, and reports of reports added that performance improved in terms of accuracy and processing costs compared to Intel chips.
The project then grew up to turn on the photos and the Apple Music command. It was even called internally as a private version of Amazon Web Services, the main retail service, which is an important part of the modern Internet infrastructure.
When it comes to fighting heavier loads, Apple also has significant experience due to the use of its servers for processing Apple's wallet transactions.
is still working on the idea of creating server equipment. In May, it was reported that Apple is still interested in the idea of creating new AI server chips, replacing M2 Ultra, is currently used for remote Apple reconnaissance requests.
Massive income potential
, while it is not known whether Apple will actually move forward with the creation of cloud service for use by developers Applications are that can become quite introitive to the company. Not to mention how to save money.
Apple is already spending about $ 7 billion a year on cloud services from Amazon and Google, mainly on artificial art training. Creating and using its own infrastructure, this will reduce what comes out of the company in terms of payments, if it does not necessarily save money directly.
as for cloud services, a good indicator that Apple can receive Google income. As of 2024, Google Cloud brings 12% of Alphabet revenues, bringing 43.2 billion dollars income.
it is not difficult to understand how Apple with its equipment for the AI image can commit a murder with a server rental. He simply has a huge and expensive task to first create his own infrastructure.
