According to reports, Apple has just rolled out its upgraded Content Delivery Network, or CDN, and to us, this equates to faster and more efficient downloads from the company's servers.

Although the Cupertino tech giant had responded to these allegations earlier, they have today released a new statement that gives a detailed breakdown of the under question diagnostic services and affirms Apple’s position as being user privacy conscious and not putting it at risk for any third parties.
If you thought Apple was going to follow what others are doing for smartwatches, you couldn’t have been more wrong. Or, at least, that’s what the iTime patent that the Cupertino-based company was granted is having us believe.
