"... underlines AMS-IX’s leading position within the global Internet Exchange Point market." Yeah, i.e. DE-CIX is constantly hitting the 4 Tbps barrier for quite some time now and is trending towards 5 Tbps. https://www.de-cix.net/about/statistics/

Is... is that figure correct!? Conservatively, taking the number of requests at the start of the year, we get 6 million req/year. 63 1024 1024 == 66060288 bytes. 66060288/6000000 == ~110bytes/request. That seems too small. The overhead of the HTTP request alone (without content) would be greater than that!

This says that it transferred "3 599 Mbytes" and there were "728 506" requests. Interpreting "3 599" as 3.599 gives 4.94 bytes per request, whic…
This is really interesting to see the 19h -> 24h increases in traffic. Most likely due to online streaming, this is a predictable sharp increases on the Hamburg and Munich POP[0] for DECIX. [0] https://www.de-cix.net/about/statistics/ (scroll a bit down)
In the past few years Apple have been embracing public peering much more - according to PeeringDB they are at 37 locations with many having multiple 100G connections.

Well, to be fair, AMS-IX is located around the Amsterdam Area (a circle of around 30 km orso), while DE-CIX has locations in the US as well. I'm not familiar with the specifics, but based on these locations, I'd say AMS-IX is the biggest internet exchange serving europe.

I'm more surprised that 'List of Internet exchange points' isn't dominated by North American and Asian exchanges. Do they have a larger number of smaller ones?

More likely due to the release of iOS9. A couple of other European Internet exchanges also peaked last night [0].

I always assumed given its age and role that it would have the best peering bar none.
