    And why does someone have to trust Apple? Everything "security"-related that comes out of Apple lately somehow always assumes that Apple is to be unquestionably trusted.

    And, yeah, I'm incredibly tired of this whole concept of a device you own acting in someone else's interests. This needs to stop and it needs to happen 10 years ago.

      Every time they say "trust us" they publish a whitepaper with technical details explaining why and how they can be trusted. They're generally very good about these things.

        You still have to trust the parts you can neither observe nor reverse engineer. So, everything organizational and everything that happens on their infrastructure.

      Apple's failed attempt at adding client side scanning for illegal content should have made everyone weary of trusting them when it comes to security and privacy. The idea should have been killed long before it even became public.
