Apple spends more than $30 million on Amazon's cloud every month, making it one of the biggest AWS customers
As Apple and Amazon compete for a greater share of consumer dollars and attention, they also have a particularly intimate business relationship: Apple is spending more than $30 million a month on Amazon's cloud, according to people familiar with the arrangement.
People use more than 1 billion Apple devices each month, and accordingly, Apple has considerable computing and storage requirements. The company is investing heavily to build out its own infrastructure: In December, Apple announced plans to spend $10 billion on data centers in the U.S. in five years, with $4.5 million of it coming in the next two years. The company also depends on smaller third-party cloud providers.
If Apple's AWS use stays at those levels for the rest of 2019, its annual spending would exceed $360 million. Apple spent approximately $350 million in 2018, one of these people said.
