  How? Apple does not care about privacy. If they did, they would not possess the keys to decrypt anything, even stuff stored on their servers. I am sure apple cares about privacy from government, but they don't seem to care about privacy of their users from them.

    even Schneier thinks they do a decent job: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/04/apples_imessage.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/04/apples_imessa...

      If you read the details of schneier's post , he basically says "we don't know".

        Jesus Christ, unless you etch your own chips and build a computer from scratch, the answer is always "we don't know". There might be a backdoor in the cpu you buy, or in the baseband, or in a driver, or in an open source component that you didn't audit, or in your compiler, or even in your USB stick. You always need to trust somebody.

          Pragmatism tells me it's easier to trust my cpu than it is to trust someone's server in the other side of the planet.
