Apple Confirms Multiple Strategic AI And Database Acquisitions

Earlier this month, Apple confirmed its $2 billion acquisition of AI startup Q.ai, and EU filings show it acquired embedded graph database maker Kuzu in October. The European Commission’s Digital Markets Act requires gatekeepers to report qualifying deals, and Apple’s 2025 filings list additional acquisitions—Pixelmator (Feb 11), TrueMeeting and WhyLabs (Jan 24), Pointable (Jan 3), Styra (Aug 19), and IC Mask Design (May 28).
