Nobody lies like Apple lies...

The only iCloud data Apple can't routinely read are in the following areas:
Apple Card transactions
Home data
Health data
iCloud Keychain (saved accounts & passwords)
Maps Favorites, Collections, and search history
Memoji
Payment information
QuickType Keyboard learned vocabulary
Safari History and iCloud Tabs
Screen Time
Siri information (although temps in Ireland were listening)
Wi-Fi passwords
W1 and H1 Bluetooth keys for AirPods and Beats Headphones

Most of these weren't stored encrypted until later versions of iOS.
For example, Maps and Safari data are only encrypted in iOS 13+.

Does anyone notice conspicuously missing from that E2EE list above of what
Apple doesn't have the key for, based on Apple's own documents, are:
iMessages (in your iCloud Backup)
iCloud Photo Library

The lack of security for iMessages is because the end-to-end encryption key
for your Messages data is actually stored in your iCloud Backup. Only if you
disable iCloud Backups is a new key automatically generated (which only then
would make Messages in the Cloud more secure, but only if you leave iCloud
Backups permanently off).

Your iCloud Backups and your iCloud Photo Library are merely 'encrypted at
rest' which means that although they are stored on Apple's servers in a
generic encrypted form, Apple has full and complete access to that generic
encryption key which they can use for any purpose they want to use it for.

Apple never tells the truth, except when forced to, in a court of law.

What's interesting is how Apple lied about having end to end encryption.

Your source for this claim?

Keychain passwords (including WiFi passwords) have always been encrypted.

So your source for THAT claim?

'iCloud secures your information by encrypting it when it's in transit,
storing it in iCloud in an encrypted format, and using secure tokens for
authentication. For certain sensitive information, Apple uses end-to-end
encryption. This means that only you can access your information, and
only on devices where you’re signed into iCloud. No one else, not even
Apple, can access end-to-end encrypted information.'

<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303>

'End-to-end encrypted data

End-to-end encryption provides the highest level of data security. Your
data is protected with a key derived from information unique to your
device, combined with your device passcode, which only you know. No one
else can access or read this data.

These features and their data are transmitted and stored in iCloud using
end-to-end encryption:

Apple Card transactions (requires iOS 12.4 or later)
Home data
Health data (requires iOS 12 or later)
iCloud Keychain (includes all of your saved accounts and passwords)
Maps Favorites, Collections and search history (requires iOS 13 or later)
Memoji (requires iOS 12.1 or later)
Payment information
QuickType Keyboard learned vocabulary (requires iOS 11 or later)
Safari History and iCloud Tabs (requires iOS 13 or later)
Screen Time
Siri information
Wi-Fi passwords
W1 and H1 Bluetooth keys (requires iOS 13 or later)'

And the data that is Apple CAN decrypt they only do so for

1) Account recovery
2) a warrant

It's telling Lewis is so childish he thinks calling someone a "girl" is an
insult (which, interestingly, is the way all apologists' are wired).

Nonetheless, what's rather telling is how fantastically _ignorant_ Lewis is.

*Apple can (& does) decrypt your data for _any_ purpose Apple deems worthy*.
Yup. Anything Apple wants.

Anything.

Even if Apple feels you're competing with them, they can (and do) decrypt
your private personal data if you're dumb enough to put it on their iCloud.

Check out the Apple iCloud privacy statement and report back what you find.

Regarding:
.../Nobody lies like Apple lies/... especially on encryption...

"Google offers full backup encryption that it can't access on its servers"
�<https://www.theverge.com/tech/2020/1/22/21076245/apple-icloud-backup-encryption-loophole-privacy-ads-fbi>

"'Apple has put some kind of handcuffs on in how they interact with your
data. It just turns out those handcuffs are made out of tissue paper.'"
<https://www.wired.com/story/apple-differential-privacy-shortcomings/>

For example... there's the infamous "iCloud loophole."

*The iCloud loophole is back in the news*
<https://www.theverge.com/tech/2020/1/22/21076245/apple-icloud-backup-encryption-loophole-privacy-ads-fbi>
"the awkward fact that Apple has access to that data in the first place
via the iCloud loophole."

*The iCloud loophole*
<https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/2/11144588/walt-mossberg-apple-vs-fbi-iphone-icloud-loophole>
"Apple retains the ability to decrypt most of what's in an iCloud backup.
And the company on occasion turns the contents of iCloud backups over"
to almost anyone who asks for it, the records show.

"The company's position is that it will provide whatever relevant
information it has to government agencies with proper, legal requests."

"What exactly is in an iCloud backup? In an interview with ABC News,
Apple CEO Tim Cook said 'you can think of it as making a picture of
almost everything on the phone − not everything, but almost everything.'"

"For instance, any iMessages and texts stored on the device are backed up
and can be decrypted."

In particular, from Apple's Legal Process Guidelines:
<https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/law-enforcement-guidelines-us.pdf>

"iCloud content may include email, stored photos, documents, contacts,
calendars, bookmarks, Safari Browsing History, Maps Search History,
Messages and iOS device backups. iOS device backups may include photos
and videos in the Camera Roll, device settings, app data, iMessage,
Business Chat, SMS, and MMS messages and voicemail. All iCloud content
data stored by Apple is encrypted at the location of the server. When
third-party vendors are used to store data, Apple never gives them the
encryption keys. Apple retains the encryption keys in its U.S. data
centers. iCloud content, as it exists in the customer’s account, may be
provided in response to a search warrant issued upon a showing of
probable cause, or customer consent."

The facts show _everything_ I said was completely correct.
In fact, the facts prove Apple doesn't give a shit about privacy.

It's shocking apologists aren't aware privacy is NOT a concern of Apple!
(Apple merely uses privacy as an advertising trick.)

*Whatever Apple Calls It, It's No Longer Secure Messaging*
<https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/apples-plan-think-different-about-encryption-opens-backdoor-your-private-life>
"When that same server has a channel for revealing information
about the contents of a significant portion of messages,
that's not end-to-end encryption."
--
Apple belatedly brought up privacy because they had to defend themselves.

It's telling the apologists _only_ defense to facts is childishly calling
someone a "girl" (which just proves they all own a kindergarten mindset).

Meanwhile, the few _adults_ on this child-like Apple newsgroup always supply
the facts via well-researched cites which back up _every_ claim we make.

Not debating your/Apple's claim. But in the San Bernadino Case, the
warrant did allow police access to the icloud data. It is the stuff on
the phone itself that they couldn't access.

Isn't there an implication here that while the data may be encrypted,
Apple has the means to decrypt it when it really wants to? (aka: court
issued warrant).

Why must you lie?

From the same source:

'Apple’s second main new feature is two kinds of notifications based on
scanning photos sent or received by iMessage. To implement these
notifications, Apple will be rolling out an on-device machine learning
classifier designed to detect “sexually explicit images.”

....

In these new processes, if an account held by a child under 13 wishes to
send an image that the on-device machine learning classifier determines
is a sexually explicit image, a notification will pop up, telling the
under-13 child that their parent will be notified of this content.'

I'm sorry, but a system that scans for something before a message is
sent or after it is received is still end-to-end encrypted.

The messaging is absolutely secure from being viewed by any third party
or even Apple itself...

....and this in no way constitutes a backdoor.

Worse, check out Apple's privacy statements for the iCloud.

This would be where you should have included the quote from "Apple's

Apple can decrypt the data in response to a lawful warrant. Apple
resists these as much as possible, and has gone to court to fight
warrants it thinks are unwarranted.

Lewis is only correct if we look only at Apple marketing schemes.
*Apple actually bends over backward in all the not-so-public cases.*

The only people who don't know that are the apologists, and that's because
these ignorant apologists believe _everything_ they've been told by Apple.

It's _why_ they own Apple products after all - they believe the bullshit.

That is correct. Look what happened in China:
<https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-censorship-data.html>.

Of course you can encrypt your own data that you then upload to the
iCloud, but for data that is automatically backed up onto iCloud Apple
has the keys. The impetus behind the ill-fated CSAM plan was to run the
hash on the unencrypted phone data rather than having to decrypt the
photos on the server to run the hash.

What nospam is dancing around is exactly what Apple always lies about.

"If you look at the behavior of the Chinese government, you don't see
any resistance from Apple - no history of standing up for the principles
that Apple (merely) _claims_ to be so attached to."

*What changed was that the Chinese now have complete access to everything.*
"China is making Apple work for the Chinese government."

*Censorship, Surveillance and Profits: A Hard Bargain for Apple in China*
<https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/17/technology/apple-china-censorship-data.html>
"Apple now answers to the Chinese government."
"China is making Apple work for the Chinese government."

"Apple has become a cog in the censorship machine that presents a
government-controlled version of the internet, said Nicholas Bequelin,
Asia director for Amnesty International"

Never forget nobody is better at clever lies than is Apple at lies

*Nobody lies, like Apple lies.*

It's revealing how apologists _always_ fall for Apple's clever wording.
It doesn't matter to apologists what Apple _actually_ says or does.
It only matters to apologists what Apple _wanted_ you to interpret it as.

<https://www.howtogeek.com/710509/apples-imessage-is-secure...-unless-you-have-icloud-enabled/>

*Your iCloud iMessage backups are _NOT_ end-to-end encrypted.*

With iCloud Backup enabled, your iCloud messages are encrypted,
then backed up to iCloud and stored on Apple's servers.

However, Apple receives a copy of the key that is used to encrypt
that backup.

In other words Apple and its employees can always access the contents
of your iMessage backups on Apple's servers any time they wish to.

For any reason they feel they have a need to access your data.

*Your iCloud iMessage backups are _NOT_ end-to-end encrypted.*

This also means that Apple could turn over the contents of your
iMessage history to anyone Apple wishes to give them to.

Arlen (Robin) is butt hurt over his tiny Apple hate boner. : )

iCloud Backups are *optional* and *opt-in*, and when you *don't* backup
to iCloud, Messages in iCloud are encrypted with a key Apple
does *not* have.
