Apple’s burgeoning services sector, encompassing iCloud, App Store, Apple Maps, Apple Music, Apple Pay, Apple TV+, iMessage, and Siri, is heavily reliant on its global data center infrastructure. To sustain this growth and ensure optimal performance for its expanding array of services, Apple will require increased data center capacity. This expansion will necessitate locating these facilities in close proximity to end-users, potentially involving a combination of company-owned infrastructure, colocation facilities, and a greater utilization of cloud service providers.
