iCloud photos is pretty good. I’d say it has a good balance between security and privacy. Probably best in class.


Apple implemented a system where they sent to their server on an insecure protocol information that identified what applications you are opening. This shows everyone how much Apple cares or is capable of implementing privacy.

Emails reveal during the Apple vs Epic trial revealed that Apple store apps were infected, then Apple prepared an email for the users to inform them but Timmy decided that informing the users about possible security or privacy problems is bad for PR. We need to keep reminding or informing people about the reality and not the myth of Apple.

Yes I know you use Apple because Google shit is probably worse but Apple shit is still shit, Apple hypocrisy is still hypocrisy and Apple greed is still greed.


Security and privacy usually don’t need to be balanced; they build on each other. Security and privacy versus usability, sure.
