;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.apple.com.          219     IN      CNAME   www.apple.com.edgekey.net.
www.apple.com.edgekey.net. 12102 IN     CNAME   www.apple.com.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net.
www.apple.com.edgekey.net.globalredir.akadns.net. 849 IN CNAME e6858.dsce9.akamaiedge.net.

Obviously different people will get different answers. But the point is, Apple is not completely off 3rd party CDNs. Or 
maybe they are back on 3rd party CDNs?
