I'm glad you've nailed the crux of the problem - if this is no more than a bank making sure you aren't storing stolen diamonds in their bank vaults -- then surely the analogy to bank vaults here is 'the phone you purchased from Apple'.
But you are right - as long as they have the right to push code to your device at any time, it isn't really yours. Shame it costs so much to keep the bank's vaults in our pockets at all times.
- jodrellblank 5y agoThis system does not stop you keeping whatever you want on the phone you purchased from Apple, it only affects what you try to send to iCloud, so no the analogy to bank vaults is not your phone, it is asking Apple to hold your data on their servers and people trying to send them illegal data to hold.
