Whilst I have no inside information on Apple, I'm pretty sure that'd be a tiny portion of the traffic they see daily. They may blackhole you just to cut down the noise, but frankly given the level of DDoS they'll get regularly, I doubt they'd bother.

For one very quick stat "The average size of DDoS attacks was at the mindblowing 26.37 GBps in Q2 2018"

You got your units wrong. 26 GBps (208 Gbps) would be among the largest attacks recorded in history. Maybe you meant to say 26 Gbps which is 8 times less, but even that is a very large and notable attack, hardly any company could withstand it outside of CDN and big tech.

that's a direct copy/paste from the first article on DDoS size I saw https://hostingtribunal.com/blog/ddos-statistics/ , I wasn't going for deep research, just making a point about massscan from one host not really representing a serious concern for someone like Apple.
