You’re just wrong, and spreading misinformation, please read the statements by Apple here:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
In particular a limited subset of data uses end-to-end encryption, none of which is super interesting:
These features and their data are transmitted and stored in iCloud using end-to-end encryption:
iCloud Keychain (Includes all of your saved accounts and passwords)
Payment information
Wi-Fi network information
Home data
Siri information
- comstock 9y agoIf I’m going to be downvotes, could someone at least link to a document that shows how these statements are incorrect?
- sbuk 9y agoDownvotes are likely for “You’re just wrong, and spreading misinformation...”
- comstock 9y agoI probably could have been more tactful. However the substance of my comment is correct, and while I believe Apple do great things in security and promoting privacy rights, they don’t provide end-to-end backups for most data via iCloud. They don’t claim to, but the same misinformation gets spread every time this topic comes up on HN. If you want end-to-end encrypted cloud based backups of photos and other data on iOS you presently need to use a third party app.
