Apple have an OSS framework built on Netty (whose lead developer is employed by Apple) named ServiceTalk, and this talk [1] says that almost all back end services are Java-based. I have no idea where the idea of Java 6 being in use comes from. [1]: https://youtu.be/Ms8vriZ6ieU |

Possibly from confusion with the last time Apple actually shipped a JDK/runtime to the public. They used to produce their own optimized distribution, which had better Cocoa widgets among other things. It was part of the original big push to get decs on OSX, it’s mentioned in Jobs’s keynotes etc. They later deprecated it once they reached critical mass, and discontinued it; if i remember correctly, the last jdk they shipped was a v6.
