I’m talking here about their hardware (MacBook, iPhone, iPad, iWatch) and software (iCloud, Apple One, mail, passwords, wallet, other apps), in terms of owning all of that.

What’s your opinion on using everything that comes from Apple? Is there anything that you would throw away from the “basket” full of apples? If yes, then what would be that and why?

    100% agree here.

    The design of this is much better than VPN. Apple doesn’t know what you’re asking for or the data, but does know your ip. The CDN doesn’t know your ip but does know what you’re asking for.

    And neither Apple nor the CDN have any way of matching the ip to the data at all since it’s abstracted several times and encrypted.

    Note: I’m not an iOS user but this feature does tempt me to switch.

      Does private relay work in junction with third party VPN services?

        I don’t think so. I don’t see how it could. But I’m not that familiar with the apple side of things.

      What’s “CDN” in this context? I’m only familiar with it as “content distribution network” such as a system of caching image assets around the internet so they can be served to clients faster.

        It’s content delivery network in this context. Except that in this case, it handles all the internet traffic AND dns, I think
