It’s more like a VPN instead of Tor

Actually, it’s closer to Tor, but hardcoded to two hops, and hop 1 and 2 are always different (audited) organizations.

I wish they’d just used Tor though.

    Isn’t hop 1 always apple and only the external IP is a secondary provider?

    There's no way they'd use Tor, because it has major UX problems.
