So... how does the new phone decrypt the content? Where's the key?

(Caveat that if you have iCloud backup enabled - which it is by default, the backups aren't end-to-end encrypted. This feature is basically on the convenience side of convenience vs privacy / security - too many consumers would irretrievably lose their data if iCloud backup weren't enabled by default)

    But doesn’t this mean after 10 attempts the data gets nuked? Fine for stored passwords but unworkable for photos.
