They word their announcement carefully.
> For users who opt in, Advanced Data Protection keeps most iCloud data protected even in the case of a data breach in the cloud.
Here, "cloud" is treated generically - as if Apple doesn't have to do with it. I suppose they don't want to spell it out. A more honest, but still easy-to-understand statement would be:
> For users who opt in, Advanced Data Protection keeps most iCloud data protected even in if someone hacks Apple's iCloud servers.
- boringg 4y agoI don't think that's them being dishonest. I'm pretty sure the way I read the first sentence and your re-write is the same thing. I guess the only difference is maybe the layman might not gather that. That said the layman probably isn't going to care about end to end encryption either. Nice to hold the corporates accountable but I don't find this to be slimy or anything - maybe just me though.
