Apple
Cupertino, Calif.
Top Executive: Tim Cook, CEO
With the launch of the first 5G iPhones, Apple is indirectly playing a massive role in fueling the edge market by accelerating the spread of 5G coverage. But Apple is getting directly involved with edge computing, too, with the tech giant acquiring an up-and-coming edge AI startup earlier this year. The startup, Xnor.ai, brings to Apple its technology for enabling on-device AI at the edge, though a commercial use in Apple products has yet to materialize.
