iCloud storage was never E2EE; the iMessage system was, but not iCloud. As of late last year iCloud can optionally be E2EE, with the "Advanced Data Protection" feature, which is off by default (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212520 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212520).
- jchw 3y agoI'm pretty sure the point of the concept was to enable E2EE for iCloud storage; that's the narrative I've heard. If it's wrong, well, then it's even stranger if you ask me.
- ls612 3y agoWell they went ahead and shelved the idea and then implemented E2EE for iCloud anyways with advanced data protection so idk how well that idea holds up.
