I absolutely adore the historical revisionism that apple cares about privacy.

Run your router through a linux laptop as a proxy so you can capture traffic, connect any apple device to your router, and see the vasts amount of data your device sends to apple.

Apple DGAF about privacy, they want your data as much as anyone else, their only thing is that they should be the only ones to get it and then other people have to pay them for it, rather than your device sending the data to the 3d party directly.

And if you think your data is secure, reminder that The Fappening was all done targeting apple devices.

Apple added e2ee and created the most complete end to end encrypted cloud ecosystem to prevent that from happening again.

  • Do you trust them to actually implement that correctly, and also do you trust them not to share your data with others, and if so, why?

    • I don't use it, but yes I think that it works because they have everything to lose and nothing to gain. They definitely could share whatever data they have with whoever, which is why you use e2ee.

      At the end of the day you are trusting Apple with pretty much everything if you use this service because they make most of your phone, the entire operating system, host the update servers, etc.
