      Do you have proof of this? Apple generally does not comply with requests for data unless legally mandated (which not all companies hold firm to, some just hand it over on request (Ring security… Any bells? 😂)). Additionally, they’ve made significant strides to enable E2E encryption across icloud and their devices, making the data inaccessible by anyone but the device owner.

        If the police or government wants your phone records, including text messages, all they have to do is ask. Every phone carrier and company will provide everything when requested.

        Source? Worked for a major carrier. More source? How do you think there’s always message records during trials.

        Believing Apple won’t give away your entire history is as smart as using an Anon phone for drugs.

          Please provide sources for occurances of this when E2E icloud encryption has been enabled and iMessage has been used. Additionally, I think you’re a bit deluded here by your experience. A carrier cannot possibly provide iMessage data, as they simply do not have it. iMessage is encrypted and uses standard tcp/ip protocols for communication. It is not an sms or RCS based service relying on unencrypted relay servers. I currently work for a law firm as a systems engineer so I’m intimately familiar with the legal data request processes. Things potentially worked like that 10-15 years ago, but your understanding is far out of date and out of touch.

    Cool but I have no use for this AI. I can form a sentence on my own and think for myself. Let me turn it off, uninstall it, and never be intruded upon by it.

      You only read the Lemmy headline so I won’t blame you. But the actual article headline is “Apple AI.” So they’re referring to the data you provide to this AI for it to work. According to them, they won’t store this data.

      iCloud is a totally different product.

      Edit: Exactly why are you downvoting me?

    I’m glad they made almost all of the processing local. Not just for privacy, but also speed and usability in bad connection situations.

        Apple has been claiming perfect privacy over and over, and getting caught lying over and over. Now they’ve got the most leak sensitive thing they’ve ever built. I’m sure they’re honest this time around

            Corps gonna corp, but I’ve tested this with all the systems and network analysis tools at my disposal, and the on-device and e2e guarantees appear to hold, for now.

            But people are right to be suspicious, because it’s rare. The engineering challenges of mobile inference compared to data center hardware, the expense of developing models without free data from users, and the lack of future data brokerage side-hustle options are why it’s rare. So anyone who can should audit these claims periodically, particularly with respect to data collection.

          Sales, but it’s also cheaper not to develop something as long as no one finds out. Like how they were caught not encrypting or safeguarding iCloud data in 2018
