## What it is
AppleDNS is a Python script that collects Apple CDN data for Chinese ISPs (China Unicom, ChinaNet, CMCC) and generates DNS/hosts configuration to speed up iTunes, iCloud, App Store, and Apple Music in mainland China. It exports configs for Surge, hosts files, dnsmasq, RouterOS, and Unbound.

## Use cases
- speed up itunes and app store downloads in china
- fix slow icloud loading on mainland china networks
- generate hosts file entries for apple cdn servers
- export dns configs for surge or dnsmasq
- test apple cdn latency per chinese isp
- optimize apple music streaming in china

## When to choose
- you are on a mainland Chinese ISP and Apple services load slowly
- you want ready-made hosts or Surge config entries for Apple CDN domains

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - the project is discontinued and data may be stale
- you are outside mainland China where Apple CDN performance is generally fine
- you need a general-purpose DNS accelerator rather than Apple-specific configs
