That's not good, but at least they had this going for them?
> Unlike most iCloud data, the records don’t seem to have been accessible to law enforcement requests. Apple declined to comment when reached by The Verge.
- yakult 10y agoI would like more clarification as to what this means. Does this mean the histories are purely client-side? If that's not the case, I don't see how they can make this claim.

- gilgoomesh 10y agoThat whole sentence seems mistaken since no iCloud data is available to law enforcement. iCloud is AES encrypted with keys that are held by the user-only (not Apple). As people have pointed out, yes, Apple is a trusted part of the system and could release a new iOS/macOS update that captures these keys but short of that, neither Apple nor law enforcement have any access to your iCloud data.
- petrikapu 10y agoI think Apple has keys for your iCloud data. "iCloud uses a minimum of 128-bit AES encryption and never provides encryption keys to any third parties." If I interpret this correctly I am first party, Apple is second and third is everyone else. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
- tinus_hn 10y agoIf that were really the case, how could you restore your data to a new iPhone? It's probably like the Dropbox encryption: its encrypted but they do have the key.
