What a good privacy story looks like is that my photos aren’t sent anywhere in any way shape or form without explicit opt in permission.
- notyourwork 2y agoDo you not sync to iCloud?
- ternnoburn 2y agoThat sounds like "with opt in permission".
- EA-3167 2y agoYou aren't wrong, but... it's odd coming here to HN and seeing people talk about privacy like we aren't in the nth generation of people trading theirs away for a pittance. I think the market for the sort of privacy envisioned by some here is incredibly small, incredibly niche, and honestly one of the least likely to buy an iPhone in the first place. Most people broadcast their lives on social media, happily opt in to all sorts of schemes that track them just for minor conveniences. For people like that, the idea that the privacy protection outlined by the OP isn't enough rings really hollow. Or to put it bluntly, at some point this really stops feeling like a practical debate, and more of an ideological one.
- chatmasta 2y agoYou can enable Advanced Data Protection and all your iCloud data will be stored as encrypted blobs.
- sneak 2y agoADP sends hashes of the plaintext and filenames to Apple effectively in the clear (non e2ee). If only you and three other people have a unique file, Apple knows you are a group.

- giancarlostoro 2y agoYou can choose to do so, or not do so.
- scosman 2y agoYour photos aren't sent anywhere in this system.
- hu3 2y agoMetadata is data.
- theshrike79 2y agoThis is hardly even metadata. It can't be traced to you nor can it be reversed.
- talldayo 2y agoHardly metadata is still metadata, though.
