It’s a large technology company and has significant funding to invest. But I see that Apple doesn’t own or co-own a submarine cable with another company, and I tried searching for it on Submarine Cable Map, but nothing came up.
Apple has its own servers, but also uses third-party servers for its services like iCloud. Meta has its own submarine cables, because Apple doesn’t own a submarine cable or doesn’t share ownership.
Apple doesn’t need submarine cables for now because it doesn’t require a large amount of data, unlike Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and internet providers, who do.
If they do decide to install a submarine cable, whether they own it or co-own it, it will be because of the amount of data they need and want a cable that prioritizes them.
