I think apple is very good at cloud. They don't sell cloud services so comparisons to GCP or AWS is unfair, but their cloud integrations are pretty top notch from my perspective. My phone backs up automatically. My photos are available on all devices with the swipe of a single slider. iCloud is so tightly integrated with their products that a lot of people don't even know they are using it. I think that's a pretty good implementation of cloud.

I'm not saying Apple is bad at cloud, per say. (Although I think there's an argument to be made there.)

Rather, I'm saying they're nowhere near as good at it as Amazon or Google, and I anticipate that this gap is only going to grow.

I would argue that Apple has fewer cloud products, but most of their cloud products are very good. Amazon and Google have many cloud products of varying degrees of quality.

That's a fair and accurate assessment, I think.
