I think all the decryption happens on the phone, so Apple can't actually see your iCloud data.

  I would be very surprised if that were true. Apple needs to be able to help users reset passwords and recover data. And it would be a complicated key management situation when adding or removing devices.

    It is indeed true (and complicated). There have been well-publicized cases of users who have been permanently locked out of their account, because they lost all their trusted devices and also their recovery key.

      Well, I am very surprised, thanks for the info :)
