- A MacBook Air M2 contacted 63 different Apple domains in one hour while not in use.
- 25% of DNS queries from the MacBook Air M2 were to Apple domains, despite blocking Apple's native telemetry.
- A 2019 Intel MacBook Pro with the same DNS settings had less than 3% of DNS queries to Apple domains.
- Apple domains contacted include services like Push Notification, CloudKit, iTunes, Location Services, and more.
- Some domains are already blocked by the user, including Apple News, Apple TV, and Siri-related services.
