As anti-Apple as I am, I think we have to give them this one, especially when the alternative (i.e. making iMessage completely unencrypted) would have been much, much easier.
I would be prepared to give them this one, were it not for the fact that they claimed the opposite. Make all the security vs usability trade offs you want, just don't lie about them!
- StavrosK 13y agoThey may very well not be able to read your messages after the initial key exchange.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoThis is known to be false; Apple will restore your iMessages if e.g. you replace your phone.
- bni 13y agoThese come from your iDevices encrypted backup in iCloud, not from iMessage servers. I guess if you dont use iCloud and back upp to your local iTunes on your Mac/PC, your messages are a bit more "private".
- cowsandmilk 13y agothis seems to only be true if you are using iCloud backup. it is easy to not back up to iCloud if you choose.
- anextio 13y agoThe backups stored on iCloud are encrypted with your Apple ID password.
- kaolinite 13y agoYour password can be reset and you don't lose your backups so either Apple has your password in cleartext (so the encrypted backups can be viewed freely) or they have full access.
