There's a session from WWDC 2016 that talks about this - https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/405/

The LTO part runs from 14:00 to 22:00. The streaming seems to only work in Safari (for Macs), but you can download the mp4s in HD (1.2 GB) or SD (300 MB).

They do a good job of describing how it works and why this is kind of a big deal.

Interesting.

Google built it because it's pretty necessary to scale to the size application we build.

It looks like Apple started using it just because it's faster anyway ;)

For non-Safari-users, the download is hiding in the grayed-out "Resources" tab.
The link to the PDF about the Incremental LTO is here, thanks to aseipp:
