The headline is misleading. The rumored change only impacts photos your device is uploading to iCloud, and it seems like Apple servers are a necessary part of the protocol.

Doesn't apple upload all your photos to icloud by default?

It’s been a long time since I’ve set up my phone, so I don’t remember the defaults. If I recall correctly, photo stream (last ~100? photos) was on by default but not the entire photo library.
