>regardless of “we promise we won’t look”.

AIUI, even if Apple's servers tried to look, they cannot, because of the encryption.

Encryption does not automatically mean secure. Encryptions can and will be broken. Any flaw in their implementation (which nobody can verify) would render encryption useless…

  • I wonder where you'd draw the line.

    Do you also distrust TLS for example, and therefore refuse to use the internet? What about AES/Chacha for full-disk encryption?

    • The line is very simple - my content stays on device, secured (locally) with the current modern and practical tools.

  • Sure, but it's more than a promise that they won't look. Apple currently believes it's impossible to look.

    • Apple is not a person, they don’t “believe” anything.

      As a corporation, they “calculate” what they can say without getting into more trouble than they’re willing to entertain.
