FULL STORY
======================================================================Nearly 
three-quarters of CIOs say Macs are now used for AI processing in the 
enterprise Survey shows 96% expect Mac investment to increase over the next 
two years CIOs cited security, privacy and hardware performance as leading 
reasons for Mac adoption 

US enterprises are adopting Macs not just for creative work or app 
development - but as infrastructure for AI, new research has claimed. 

The figures from a MacStadium survey of 300 CIOs reported 73% cite AI 
processing as the top use case for Apple hardware today. 

Nearly all respondents said Apple technologies are important to their IT 
strategies, with 22% calling them mission-critical. Apple now accounts for an 
average of nearly two-thirds (63%) of enterprise endpoints, and 96% of CIOs 
said they expect Mac investment to increase over the next 12 to 24 months. 
Mac investment to increase 

Ken Tacelli, CEO of MacStadium, said the findings confirm what the company 
has been seeing. 

Apple is no longer just for developers. Macs are powering AI workloads, 
executive teams, creative functions and enterprise-wide workflows, he said. 

As organizations accelerate their cloud strategies, Apple infrastructure has 
become an essential, enterprise-ready component of IT environments. 

AI workloads are already ahead of traditional tasks like iOS and macOS app 
development at 68%. 

Build, test and deploy workflows came in at 61%, followed by remote desktop 
functions at 51%, and edge computing at 46%. 

Security and privacy are key drivers for adoption. Hardware security 
features, isolation models and Apple silicon appealed to enterprises 
deploying private, cloud-based AI. 

Nearly two-thirds (60%) of CIOs said Apple silicon strongly influenced their 
decision to expand Mac use, while a third (33%) said it somewhat influenced 
them. Only 7% said it had no impact. 

Cloud deployment was another factor, as the vast majority (97%) of CIOs 
reported using Mac infrastructure in the cloud, with 77% saying they used it 
extensively, supporting remote workforces and scaling AI-enabled workflows. 

Overall, the results suggest Macs are shifting from a niche role in 
development to a broader role as infrastructure. (Image credit: MacStadium)
