With the release of iOS 18.1, Apple will launch its artificial intelligence service Apple Intelligence. Over time, the company will expand the capabilities and geography of the service, which will require additional server capacity. To solve this problem, information WccfTech, Apple is already in talks with Foxconn to create the necessary equipment.
However, the agreement has not been signed yet, and there is a possibility that it may not be signed at all. The truth is that other players in the AI market, such as Lenovo Group and Universal Scientific Industrial, are also lining up with Foxconn to build AI servers.
Although Foxconn made an exception for Apple. The exact number of servers Apple needs is not specified, but it is known that this equipment will be for internal use, meaning it can be ordered in small quantities.
