Wednesday afternoon,
Apple Inc.AAPL
may be reducing exposure to

Web Services for none other than
Alphabet Inc'sGOOGL
Google. The news may be notable as Google, as the CRN article puts it, "has quietly scored a major coup in its campaign to become an enterprise cloud computing powerhouse." The report said Google signed a deal with Apple near the end of 2015 which placed the latter as a customer for the Google Cloud Platform. Google execs, according to sources, have said Apple is spending between $400 million and $600 million on Google's platform. CRN's sources also suggested Apple still uses Amazon Web Services for cloud services, and has not dropped the service entirely.
