There is an iPhone Time Capsule... it's called iTunes and it has support full, encrypted device backups via home Wifi for years...

  "I don't want to touch iTunes and do computer backup, that is like a very geeky way do it"

    Oops :(

    They have iCloud for that.

      Right, and that’s back-doored by the Chinese government (in China). So neither fits gp’s desired featureset of local & frictionless.

        Evidence of back door?

The encryption keys for Chinese users are stored in China, and the government has full access to data and keys on those servers as per Chinese law. Maybe “backdoored” is the wrong word since they can walk in the front door.

        Can't reply to the guy below you but there might be some truth to this. Companies running servers in China must give up the login keys to the government. iCloud in China is not operated by Apple themselves, but a Chinese partner vendor.

          Exactly. It is not really a backdoor per se. And there isn't any law sitting in between your iCloud Data and government trying to collect it.

  >full, encrypted device backups via home Wifi for years I never knew that - this might be a much better option than iCloud backup
