Read the latest from us. June 8, 2026 Expanding Private Cloud Compute Alongside the next generation of Apple Intelligence, today we’re expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC) beyond Apple’s data centers. When Apple introduced Private Cloud Compute in 2024, we defined a new frontier for private AI inference, extending the security and privacy of Apple devices into the cloud for those AI workloads more complex than on-device models can handle. Now, we are collaborating with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud Platform, extending our industry-leading PCC privacy commitments to third-party data centers for the first time.

To advance the state of the art for assuring critical software, we're also publishing the formal verification libraries and tools that we created to achieve the strongest known correctness results for any widely-deployed production implementation of the relevant algorithms. Read more October 10, 2025 A major evolution of Apple Security Bounty, with the industry's top awards for the most advanced research Today we’re announcing the next major chapter for Apple Security Bounty, featuring the industry’s highest rewards — up to $2 million for sophisticated exploit chains and a maximum payout in excess of $5 million with bonuses — expanded research categories, and a flag system for researchers to objectively demonstrate vulnerabilities and obtain accelerated awards. These updates will go into effect in November 2025. Read more Get involved with the Apple Security Bounty. Submitting your research to Apple is easier — and more rewarding — than ever.
