Wait until OP discovers smoot.apple.com ... which literally sends every single Spotlight keystroke back to Apple.
My simple solution to blocking Apple's bullshit is simply to DNS-blackhole *.apple.com ; thanks for the info on icloud-content.com , which I've added to my blacklist.
Also consider: health.apple.com ; configuration.apple.com ; icloud.com ; apple.akamaiedge.com ; apple-dns.com ; apple-cloudkit.com ; iphonesubmissions.apple.com ; idiagnostics.apple.com ; configuration.ls.apple.com ; cdn-apple.com ; and MANY MORE!
