  Apple's move to Google Cloud could take a year and, like the current Apple tie up with Amazon Web Services, is unlikely to be a money maker for the Internet search giant.

  I doubt that.

  Why does a company of Apple's repute, size and dara wharehousing have to depend on any other external IT source or company?
