Re:Apple confirms it uses Google cloud for some of iCloud by buildbuildbuild on Monday February 26, 2018 @10:19AM (#16465847)
iCloud is a product with much larger storage requirements than compute.

Prior to iCloud's launch Apple built a massive $1bn datacenter in North Carolina and has continued to build new facilities at an aggressive pace.

I presume they are leaning into large public cloud platforms when their own capacity runs low.

Yes along with their fancy new data centers in Prineville, Mesa, Maiden and Reno!
