Apple CFO Kevan Parekh highlighted Perplexity's Personal Computer platform during Apple's Q2 2026 earnings call (May 1) as an example of developers choosing the Mac for 'enterprise-grade AI assistants.' The mention came as Mac mini and Mac Studio are sold out in multiple countries, driven partly by agentic platform adoption.
