When the company behind your smartphone’s software commits to backing up your device’s data online, how far should it go to have your back?
A report Tuesday by Reuters on Apple’s iCloud backups brought fresh attention to this question. Citing “six sources familiar with the matter,” reporter Joseph Menn wrote that the firm “dropped plans to let iPhone users fully encrypt backups of their devices in the company’s iCloud service after the FBI complained that the move would harm investigations.”
What that means is that while the contents of your iPhone remain encrypted on Apple’s servers, you don’t have the only key to unlock them – the Cupertino, California, tech giant also has one.
The company had announced intentions for full encryption of iCloud backups as far back as 2016. Apple did not comment to Reuters about the apparent reversal, nor did it respond to a USA TODAY query sent Wednesday.
