Why?
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
Shit. So Apple is like any other megacorp. Sucks. Not surprising, though.
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.
I'm not sure we'll ever know why they lied. Probably for sales.
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
