Apple stores some iCloud objects on Google's cloud

After some speculation, Apple has finally confirmed that it uses Google Cloud Services for iCloud storage. The admission was made in the company's most recent update to its iOS Security Guide, spotted by CNBC. 

The Security Guide has previously indicated that iCloud services relied on Google competitors Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. But the most recent version, released in January, states that iCloud files are stored using "third-party storage services, such as S3 [a product of Amazon Web Services] and Google Cloud Platform."
