now supports encrypted local backups.
iTunes has supported encrypted local backups since the beginning of iOS.
restore your data onto a new device without needing permission from you or Apple.
and that's a great reason to verify your iCloud backup is always disabled on all devices (if you care about privacy). You just have to be vigilant about not accidentally enabling it during any setup process since iOS wants you to enable the feature, but it's easy to disable everywhere.
- eridius 11y agoYou make it sound like Apple is trying to trick you into enabling it, like they have default-on checkboxes everywhere to turn it on. IIRC they only ask once, during the setup wizard, and you're forced to make a choice (no default behavior). So just don't turn it on and you're good.
