The activation of the content delivery network means that the tech giant can now transfer terabits worth of data in just a few seconds, reports Mac Rumors. This will make it easier for the company to transfer files and distribute updates to its software. Data shows that Apple is sending data directly through internet service providers. This means that the company has likely signed interconnect deals in an effort to keep speeds from slowing down during high traffic.
