Fun fact, they can’t exfiltrate the key because it’s burned into the secure element coprocessor and unreadable by software.

so that means if your iphone breaks or gets stolen the data is lost? I guess they would have to enable exporting the encryption key to users to make the backup useful in these cases.

Would you please like to give us some URLs that explain this for people not deeply into Apple hardware - thank you very much!

How do we know this, exactly? Is it open hardware? Have anyone audited it?
