> One must understand that E2EE is used when you don't trust your service provider to handle your data. In other words, the adversary in your threat model is the service provider - and in this case, Apple. And what good is that encryption, if Apple obviously can do almost anything with your device?

Ironic, since if you follow the thread you'll learn that since Apple still has complete control of your device, it essentially still has access to the keys.
