Hello Jaguar792005,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that you would like to know why the lock icon is green on Apple websites and black on other sites. The following article is for Safari for Mac but explains what the difference is between the green and black locks when you are using Safari:

Safari for Mac: Identify encrypted websites and avoid fraud using Safari

Determine whether a website is encrypted

Look for an encryption icon in the Smart Search field. An encryption icon indicates that the website uses the HTTPS protocol, has a digital identity certificate, and encrypts information. To view the website’s certificate, click the icon.

  • A gray icon indicates a standard certificate.

  • A green icon indicates an EV certificate (more extensive identity verification), and shows the name of the EV certificate owner.
