Apple introduces end-to-end encryption for backups
One must understand that E2EE is used when you don&#x27;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?<p>They can remotely wipe apps. They can force-install apps and force updates. It is not too far-fetched to think that they can just remotely copy anything stored on your device to their servers. So, with an adversary that capable, I&#x27;m not sure encrypted backups provide a meaningful improvement to security and privacy.
