Wouldn't most carriers have peering relationships with Apple for Apple TV content? Presumably iCloud Private Relay traffic could be sent over that connection as well, meaning that of all the VPN-esque solutions, Apple's is the most efficient from a traffic exchange perspective.
(Of course, it was likely never about the traffic exchange itself, but rather the ability to route, shape, and track traffic dynamically on a host-by-host basis, as others have speculated.)
- aeonflux 5y agoI am guessing that AppleTV traffic is very low compared to Netflix or YouTube. Anyway I guess this setup must be super complicated. Apple is probably partnering with tons of entities to provide this all over the world. It must be a huge challenge at Apple scale. I wonder if they have any long term goals, which are not obvious.
