← Measured in the wild

experiments.apple.com

classified as first-party · 2

This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed

We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — first-party

experiments.apple.com is on Apple's own apple.com domain and the app is Apple's App Store client, so this is first-party infrastructure (the subdomain name suggests A/B testing or feature-flag delivery, though I cannot confirm its exact function). The empty label fields appear to reflect the absence of a store privacy label for a preinstalled Apple app rather than an omission, so an undisclosed flow cannot be established from what is given.

OpenAI — first-party

The domain is under apple.com and is most likely Apple first-party infrastructure for experiments. No evidence is provided about the specific data transmitted, so undisclosed collection cannot be determined.

Google Gemini — first-party

experiments.apple.com is an Apple-owned domain used for feature configuration and experimentation within its first-party applications. Because the domain belongs to the app publisher, this contact is classified as first-party and does not indicate undisclosed third-party data flows.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
