You're kidding yourself if you think apple is in the business of protecting your data beyond marketing itself as such. Just like all it's competition it's in the business of using your data like them.

It is entirely possible to create a business where others ignore user demands, like, say, privacy. Apple does not have a massive advertising incentive to process user data as others do. I am not a huge Apple fan (typing this from my Windows machine), but I am not ashamed to admit that some companies are good at some things, and others at other things (insane idea I know)

Apple does not have to homomorphically encrypt your data. They do so because they have "made privacy a feature," as they say in their marketing. You can also just read the research papers or code if you want, since they have published those, too. Have you read those?

    No I've not read them, I don't see why I would as I'm not an apple customer. But I do wonder if apple are in charge/control the encryption keys to your encrypted data...
