It's E2EE (only if you turn it on, which you can't do in the UK) but it saves (non-encrypted) the hashes of the plaintext of the files to Apple (presumably for dedup).

The E2EE is useless with such unencrypted metadata leaks.

- sneak 4mo agoIt’s not based on Apple account country, and even if it were, it’s not nearly that simple to switch it.
- SXX 4mo agoDid you checked it? I did. I do have Apple devices in UK that have E2EE enabled and it works just fine. Switching account country is super straightforward: cancel subscriptiona, change address to US, top up with apple gift card from amazon us. No US payment details needed.
