It's Apple's image servers. It's where your iPhone is downloading the images used on your phone from; AppleTV, app store, etc. Do not block those domains.

It's showing in my privacy report on my iPhone 8. I found a nice little domain blocking app, which has been very helpful since asking support for help didn't get me far. I did have a long list of subdomains that were mzstatic or s.mzstatic then ".itunes.com" etc. Since I don't even use iTunes this was disturbing. In tracing Domain.glass I found some information about the Cisco Umbrella and at the very bottom thought I had blocked the main servers. Apparently not since "s.mzstatic.com" is back. Everything I read says it's an Apple domain, but unidentified.
