That's we thought and what we experienced but as the day went on they
definitely shifted some load to Akamai.

Subject: Here comes iOS 8...
So Apple is about to release iOS 8... Have you done anything special to
your network setup to accommodate the traffic flood ie traffic shaping
rules, cache servers, etc?
I heard that Apple Caching servers won't work with this update, so I'm
guessing it will be pushed through Akamai servers as is usually is.

Interestingly enough, it seems Apple primarily used it's own, new, CDN for the
iOS 8 release:
