Every time i start up the program Pages (iWork) it connects to a server through https. What is going on? Why would Apple do this? I use no features under Pages that could warrant this behaviour.

It connects to IP address 2.22.240.224 on port 443 and keeps the connection open until i close the application.

All the info i can get from Wireshark is a bunch of Apple-related domain names.

Edit: The same thing happens with Numbers. I have disabled "Documents & Data" on iCloud so that shouldn't be the reason why.

Edit 2: The programs in the iWork suite stopped doing this after recent updates so it's not an issue anymore.
