You're saying there was a silent update pushed to Chinese iphones? Can you provide more details or a source on that?

  It certainly wasn't silent, but that wasn't a condition for the parent's question. It was a well-documented (and much derided) decision though: https://mashable.com/article/china-government-apple-icloud-data https://mashable.com/article/china-government-apple-icloud-d...

    You want them to break Chinese laws? Don't think they have popular support for that.

    Seeing as context is conspicuously missing, all cloud services offered by foreign business in China a required to be hosted and controlled by state owned providers. For instance, China has a separate Microsoft 365/Azure region hosted and controlled by 21Vianet. Apple still controls the encryption keys and there is no evidence that they have handed them over to the CCP, but it is largely assumed. Federighi has said that Apple will offer EE2E in China.
