Most of the time you don't need a recovery key, just to be logged in on another device.Įven if it is the case that most users do not want E2E, there's certainly a large audience (outside of just the HN bubble) that do want it. Apple states which iCloud services are E2E and these services I'd argue are pretty straightforward to setup and not lose. It may be the case that people prefer E2E but this is not evidence of it.įurthermore, I don't believe iCloud backups were ever E2E and that it was a feature that was removed. You're assuming that people choosing iCloud over not-iCloud means people do not want E2E. In some cases, your iCloud data may be stored using third-party partners’ serverssuch as Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platformbut these partners don’t have the keys to decrypt your data stored on their servers. However, Apple does not give the option to choose E2E or not so users cannot make that choice of privacy vs convenience. Many Apple services use end-to-end encryption, which means that only you can access your information, and only on trusted devices where you’re signed in with your Apple ID. People are certainly choosing convenience over privacy in that any backup is preferable to no backup. You're conflating the convenience of backing up vs being able to access data even with lost recovery keys.
