    I wouldn’t trust this woman for a second. She seems “perkily devious”…

    If you feel secure being an Apple customer, I’m sure it’s not as secure as you think.

      You heard it here folks! From a youtuber commenter. There’s no better source for advice and information 😂

    Sounds like the US government are wanting to have exactly what they accuse the Chinese government of doing hence ban on Huawei with government ’back door’ – a tad hypocritical i think! Not that i am advocating either!

    Why does it have to be so “secure” what are you hiding ? Is timcook hiding something?

    Fbi can go inside someone’s house with no proof and not find anything but if somone is hiding something bad on iclooud there just stuck. Guess all criminals should buy iphones 👍

    The problem with privacy on technology is that if the government wants to get your data, they will. It happened before when a certain isreali company cracked apples security encryption so with all due respect here theres no privacy protection really

    This has made me consider using iCloud storage now for more things rather than doing it all on my nas. Very excited.

    Let’s point out that what got Manafort into trouble was his funneling of Ukrainian money to the “Podesta Group” for use in buying off US politicians. You remember “Podesta”; he was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager.

    The feds have a back door to EVERYTHING. That has been proven too many times to count. Anyone who thinks this will protect them from the feds are fools. Even TOR has been compromised at times.

    I’m proud of Apple for doing this. I don’t really use Apple products. I have products from them but I use other devices. I do think that privacy is essential. Others shouldn’t be able to access your data online. Yeah, there are people who have things like they shouldn’t, like pictures of people or people who intend harm, but if the police can access that, anyone can.

    Apple’s encryption is so good I can no longer open a single useful app on my old iPod Touch’s, iPhone’s, and iPad’s. It’s almost like they render their own hardware obsolete every couple of years just to protect us all, and remove us the need to buy expensive loft fillers, paper weights or door stops. I heard Tim Berner’s Lee was working on some personal security idea called “Solid”, where the user decides on what personal information is shared via customisable “Pods”, and that the user then further deicides which apps/web services can access these “Pods”. No need to to trust companies with “trust” at all.

  23. John

    December 17, 2022 at 12:36 am

    Set it up the first day 16.2 was available. I prefer being in charge of my own data. Let Apple just sell hardware, that’s what they’re good at anyway.

    The FBI spied on people they didn’t like, like MLK, muslims, simply praying at a mosque, yeah, I’m all for this. Yes, it means guys like Paul Manafort might get away with their dirty crimes. But it also means we don’t have FBI agents making up excuses to stalk their ex girlfriend.

    It is misleading and disingenuous to say that Apple doesn’t collect information. It is a company that allows you to block third party apps from collecting data while giving you no way to block its own data collection that is used to target ads from Apple itself. They are dismantling competitors while building their own business using the same tactics.

    Law enforcement agencies requesting information on individuals from large tech companies like Apple seems like a “fishing expedition”, which shouldn’t be allowed, because these companies have the ability to gather so much information on us, that innocuous information stored, can be used to shape a false narrative from legal authorities.

    It’s just apple marketing… 15 years from now we will come to know that both apple and the govt. Always had access to our data…😂

    I am proud what Apple is doing, but please don’t say Apple sells gadgets unlike other companies. There are a lot of cases where apple contractors have been listening to your recorded Siri conversations. In the name of privacy, Apple is earning a lot of money by charging 30% for each payment made in the app store and the main reason Apple won’t let people to download apps through APKs, coz they will lose a lot of money from it. Apple talks about end to end encryption, but your data can be stolen only by clicking one malicious link sent to u by a scammer. Trust me, it’s not that difficult. In these cases, the encryption and stuff can’t do anything coz all the data is stored in your phone. So please stop assuming that using an iphone protects your data and rest of the phones don’t.

    People saying WhatsApp is end to end encrypted! Hahaha do you really think Meta isn’t looking at your data and making money from WhatsApp

    Uhhh…YEAH….Right lol! Who here actually BELIEVES this APPLE BS? Apple is THE MOST HONEST company on Planet Earth right? Right lol!!! Smh! DON’T believe the hype people! 🤦‍♂

    I smell BS, FBI will still get the data daily, this is just another sales feature

  36. Jose Santiago

    December 17, 2022 at 11:47 am

    In today’s society, you have to give your information to someone if you want to keep up with technology. I’d rather give it to Apple, who seemingly wants very little to do with it, as opposed to Google, who desperately wants it.

    Although this all good and is very useful to all users across apple’s platform. Apple never does anything that doesn’t benefit them by ten fold over their users. This is just a ticking time bomb to when it gets leaked just like how other encryption types meet the same fate. It is still better than nothing of course but don’t put all your eggs in one basket. This is all the same as how a lock making company will never defeat a lock picker.

    This video proves that privacy is a double-edged sword.

    Privacy is a common practice that protects individual rights until it comes into contact with public entities such as hospitals, law enforcement, public records, and places of the like.

  42. capitanlunares

    December 17, 2022 at 3:22 pm

    Apple should instead make their devices unhackable, because advanced encryption is useless against malware like Pegasus that captures everything including live camera and an attacker can install over the air. There are governments and malicious organizations spending millions to hack iPhones. The journalists, for example, that that advanced encryption promises to protect, have been murdered by being targets of the malware. While Advanced Encrpyption allows Apple to have less of a liability by black-boxing the data it own on cloud, what good is advanced encryption for the end-user then?

  44. Roberto Reyes

    December 17, 2022 at 4:18 pm

    iMessage is the most common for of communication for iphone users!! If Apple still insists in keeping 1990’s technology (SMS) for iMessage means that they really don’t care privacy.

  45. Ggghh Rhtgh

    December 17, 2022 at 7:31 pm

    on one hand Apple protects people’s privacy from ONLY American government, on the other hand when it comes to Chinese government, Apple has been doing the exact opposite. What a hypocrite

  46. Mike G

  57. STARSHINE

    December 18, 2022 at 10:48 am

    if apple does make a wifi device, they can bake more security into it and add passkeys as well with hardware security and more encryption with more of their services added there for more security. That can also help greatly with MIM attacks as well.

  58. iblackfeathers

    December 18, 2022 at 4:15 pm

    rcs is still half baked as one article succinctly put it. it’s not necessarily apple’s fault for not cooperating with google but rcs’s own implementation. it’s just not there.

  59. Jay Jay

    December 18, 2022 at 4:32 pm

    CNET is wrong! A judge can order access to law enforcement. In fact, it may not take a judge to do it because in certain countries overseas, a cop can stop you and plug something into your phone, forcing the information to be made available.

    I’ve seen it make a few mistakes before and you can’t email them to get them corrected.

    When the iCloud is 100% E2EE and Apple fixes iCloud functionality I can say it is a good thing. Oh, and Apple needs to stop with the nanny features. I am capable of deciding things about my devices.

    You guys are kidding yourself. The government, because of historic cases, develop ways to crack every iphone and android when they come out

    The biggest weakness to encryption is the admin with a password. Snowden hasn’t taught us anything?

    Feedback for CNET: not holistic coverage, WSJ Joanna pointed out Pegasus directly to apple on video call.

    Unfortunately most printers store a copy of what is printed on them so that could be accessed there’s that and if you don’t use that and you use a quote on quote backup buddy that person could be held as an accessory if there was a crime involved so there’s that so this is much to do about nothing

    Hey criminals out there, happy to you, do whatever you want and get away with it, because they cont provide evidence in court of law, more powe to you criminals outthere. So from now on activists now blame enforcement agencies and judiciary not serving justice.
