The domain "gspe21-ssl.ls.apple.com" is associated with Apple's services and is used for various purposes related to Apple's ecosystem. In particular, the "ssl" in the domain suggests that it is related to secure communication using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or its successor, TLS (Transport Layer Security). This is a common practice to ensure that data transmitted between your device and Apple's servers is encrypted and secure.


Seeing this domain in your Screen Time data doesn't necessarily indicate an issue. It's possible that your iPhone was communicating with Apple's servers for various reasons, such as checking for updates, syncing data, or other background processes.


If you're concerned about specific activities or if you want more details about why this domain appeared in your Screen Time, you can check the specific apps or services that were active around those times. Navigate to Settings > Screen Time on your iPhone, and you can view a breakdown of your app usage and activities. This might give you more insights into the context of the connection to gspe21-ssl.ls.apple.com.


If you notice any unusual or suspicious behavior, it's always a good idea to keep your device updated with the latest software, as updates often include security patches. Additionally, you can contact Apple Support for more personalized assistance and clarification.
