Pertinent bit of `wget --verbose --server-response --no-dns-cache apple.com`:

  HTTP/1.1 302 Object Moved

I suspect one of their servers is down, 'wget www.apple.com' resolves to 17.149.160.10, but 'wget apple.com' resolves to 17.112.152.57 (first, anyway) which is not giving me any response.

Also, in the respective commands I'm seeing:

    Resolving www.apple.com... 17.149.160.10
vs

    Resolving apple.com... 17.112.152.57, 17.251.200.70, 17.149.160.49
