The stock had previously fallen more than 20% after the earnings release, despite the company beating estimates.

Microsoft Corp, Meta Platforms Inc, Oracle Corp, Amazon and Alphabet have committed about $1.09 trillion in future payments under leases that have not yet begun, mostly for data centres needed to power the artificial intelligence boom. The commitments show that a substantial part of Big Tech's AI spending spree has already been locked in, without yet appearing as debt-like lease liabilities on company balance sheets. The total is nearly four times the roughly $285 billion of lease liabilities already recognised on the companies' balance sheets, according to company filings compiled by Reuters.

Apple may soon need to make up its mind about spending on AI. It resisted developing its own AI models, relying instead on OpenAI to fuel its AI strategy under a 2024 deal. Earlier this year, it abandoned OpenAI in favor of Google’s Gemini, which is set to power a revamped AI-infused version of its Siri digital assistant.
