AS714 is Apple's primary ASN. Apple is notable for owning the entire 17.0.0.0/8 Class A block — over 16 million IPv4 addresses — one of the largest single allocations to any company. This block was assigned to Apple in 1990 when large Class A blocks were freely distributed to significant internet users. Apple uses AS714 for iCloud, the App Store, Apple Push Notification Service, Siri, FaceTime, and other Apple services.
Every time you visit a website, your IP address — and therefore your ISP (Apple Inc.) — is visible to that site. Apple Inc. as your ISP can see all unencrypted traffic passing through their network, including the domains you visit. This is standard practice for all ISPs and is typically used for network management, legal compliance, and in some cases targeted advertising.
If your device is assigned an IP in Apple Inc.’s ranges, websites you visit will identify your connection as coming from Apple Inc.. To prevent this, a VPN replaces your ISP-assigned IP with the VPN server’s IP, making your traffic appear to come from a different provider entirely.
AS714 is registered with ARIN — the Regional Internet Registry responsible for IP allocations in North America. The ASN is used to announce IP prefixes to the global BGP routing table, allowing other networks to route traffic to Apple Inc.’s infrastructure.
Apple Inc. peers with major transit providers and internet exchanges to ensure global reachability. BGP peering relationships determine how traffic flows between Apple Inc. and the rest of the internet.
