I’m still waiting on iCloud backup encryption they promised a while back. There were reports that they scrapped those plans because the FBI told them to, but nothing official announced since 2019 on this.

Yet Apple gave access to all the chinese user iCloud data to the Chinese government, including messages, emails, pictures, etc.

NYT Daily had an episode where they talked about how the CCP is getting Apple to bend it's commitment to privacy:

Last I heard on HN was that it was scrapped entirely as a consequence of some event I don’t remember. I hope someone has a better memory than I do.
