They of course have the ability to exfiltrate data, they created the hardware and OS.
However since this is part of the opt-in iCloud photos sharing mechanism, it doesn’t appear they have started to exfiltrate data without consent.

- dwaite 5y agoI don’t count this as data exfiltration because it only releases data if you are doing iCloud photos sync, which is opt in. iCloud photo sync has also always been recoverable on the server by government request. So they have always been one software update from non-opt-in data exfiltration and remain so.
