Maybe images/photos isn't something they want to expand at this moment in time but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- behnamoh 4y agoThey might mine your data BEFORE it leaves your device. Thanks to the new A chips, Apple can definitely do that.
- mejutoco 4y agoThis. Technically the iphone can process images locally. Photos app shows what is in the picture (faces, pets, food) and can do ocr on text in screenshots and photos. This is a very real possibility to outsource the processing to your device.
- nonameiguess 4y agoThe camera itself does software processing and you can't encrypt the light. It detects faces even before you click the shutter for capture. There is no way to keep the device itself from ever knowing what it was looking at. Something that sensitive is something you don't photograph.
- mejutoco 4y agowe agree I believe. I am saying that technically the device gets thst information on-device, and could send it. Idk if that is the case, but it is possible. Edit:The ocr and face recognition on the iphone is definitely more advanced than usual, thanks to the custom hardware on device.

- kaba0 4y agoI mean, if you can’t trust the very OS that handles your encrypted data, then you are lost either way, so that argument doesn’t make sense. It is similar security LARPing then hardware kill switches.
