  • Yeah I know that but for me that’s where it gets interesting. It doesn’t really matter to me what others do And in a privacy community you can expect that at least we bother with those things. And whether or not my advanced data protection really is proper E2EE that’s where it gets interesting imo.

    Not trying to antagonize you because I consider us in the same team, just saying that with this is kinda the same as with crypto wallets: not your key, not your wallet (or in this case, not encrypted). If I just rely on Apples default settings then yeah I consider that compromised.


  • Got it but they also say

    If you enable Advanced Data Protection and then lose access to your account, Apple will not have the encryption keys to help you recover it — you’ll need to use your device passcode or password, a recovery contact, or a personal recovery key. Because the majority of your iCloud data will be protected by end-to-end encryption, you’ll be guided to set up at least one recovery contact or recovery key before you turn on Advanced Data Protection. You must also update all of your Apple devices to a software version that supports this feature. You can turn off Advanced Data Protection at any time. Your device will securely upload the required encryption keys to Apple servers and your account will once again use standard data protection.

    Since they are closed source there is no way for me to verify that’s true, but that’s also not exactly in line with what you’re saying.
