The chart, based on FactSet data through late 2024, shows Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta ramping up capital expenditures 42% to 95% year-over-year for AI infrastructure, while Apple's dipped 19% to $2.37 billion in its latest quarter. Apple spent just $12.7 billion in fiscal 2025 versus peers' $400 billion-plus, leaning instead on partnerships like licensing Google's Gemini model and its own on-device chips.
