Apple absolutely has data centres. Where do you think Apple TV, Apple Music, iCloud, Maps, etc compute happens?

Here's a press release straight from the horse's mouth about one in Denmark, in late 2020: https://www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/2020/09/apple-expands-rene...

Not to my knowledge, but that's not saying much.

    But that's the entire crux of their comment: undercut the competition, and make them pay for compute on Apple's data centers.
