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.

Supporters call this disciplined genius that avoids debt and GPU risks, while critics warn it risks falling behind in the AI race—though Apple's strong cash flow and recent earnings beat keep it shielded for now.

Key Takeaway

A simple chart lays bare Apple's unique path in the AI era: while rivals pour billions into data centers, Apple's spending line stays remarkably steady.

John Smith led Labour from July 1992 until his sudden heart attack death on May 12, 1994, at age 55, boosting the party to double-digit poll leads with his dry wit, Christian faith, and traditional values.
