Your iPhone is so much more than just a screen for texting. Smartphones are how we get work done, stay on top of the crazy news cycle, rock out, keep in touch with friends and family, and capture life’s most important moments. Carrying all of that information in our pockets is incredibly powerful, and it makes getting through our days a little easier. It also means that your most important data can get lost when you forget your phone on the train or have an unfortunate spat with the sidewalk. I

In brief: UK authorities have had the power to break encryption and access user data since 2016. Recently, Apple was forced to comply with this law and chose to significantly weaken encryption instead, but the battle is far from over. Apple is taking its fight against the UK government's attempt to access iCloud user data to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, an independent judicial body that reviews complaints against national security services. According to unnamed sources cited by the Financ

In Brief Apple is challenging a U.K. Government data access order in the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), the Financial Times reports. The order targeted iCloud backups that are protected by end-to-end encryption. Last month, press leaks revealed the existence of the January order asking Apple to build a backdoor in iCloud’s encrypted backups. U.K. officials are exercising powers they hold via national security surveillance legislation to try to force the iPhone maker to provide data in th

iCloud storage can be a sore spot for iPhone users who don’t want to pay monthly for cloud storage but also find the free 5GB plan nowhere near sufficient. Apple, however, has just defeated a US lawsuit concerning its iCloud storage practices after a judge dismissed the case. Judge dismisses lawsuit after claims against Apple ruled to lack merit Mike Scarcella writes at Reuters: Apple won a ruling dismissing a lawsuit that accused the iPhone maker of illegally monopolizing the market for digi

Fifteen days ago, Apple released a tool for iPhone and iPad that allegedly allows you to migrate purchases from one Apple Account to another. The primary requirement is that you must be logged in with both Apple Accounts on the same iPhone or iPad. The only problem is that there are also secondary, tertiary, quaternary, quinary, senary, septenary, octonary, nonary, and denary requirements as well. There were so many requirements that I had to learn what comes after tertiary! Best of all is tha

President Trump has chimed in on the UK’s attempt to force Apple to add a global backdoor to iCloud, likening the demand to “something that you hear about with China.” Trump met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at The White House yesterday for a wide-ranging conversation on world politics, tariffs, free speech, and more. It marked Starmer’s first visit to Washington, D.C., since Trump took office last month. In an interview with British news outlet The Spectator yesterday, Trump was asked a

Late last year, I published a long post that criticized the user unfriendliness of passkeys, the industry-wide alternative to logging in with passwords. A chief complaint was passkey implementations tend to lock users into whatever platform they used to create the credential. An example: when using Chrome on an iPhone, passkeys were saved to iCloud. When using Chrome on other platforms, passkeys were saved to a user’s Google profile. That meant passkeys created for Chrome on, say, Windows, woul

What Apple pulling Advanced Data Protection means for you 3 hours ago Liv McMahon Technology reporter Reuters Apple has made headlines by pulling its most advanced data security tool for UK customers. It is removing Advanced Data Protection (ADP) after the Home Office asked for the right to be able to access data which it is applied to - something even Apple itself cannot currently do. Rather than comply with that request, on Friday the tech giant said it would halt new UK sign-ups to the too

Apple today announced that it has removed its Advanced Data Protection feature in the UK. The decision comes after the UK government ordered Apple to build a worldwide backdoor into iCloud encryption. Instead of complying with that order, Apple chose to remove the feature in the UK. There’s a huge piece of nuance getting missed in a lot of the coverage of today’s announcement. Apple is not “removing end-to-end encryption” from the UK as some headlines have suggested. The company is removing the

Apple is withdrawing its Advanced Data Protection tool from the UK, leaving iCloud users without the highest level of encryption the company currently offers. The move comes just weeks after reports emerged that the British government was pressuring Apple to create a backdoor into its encrypted services for law enforcement and spying purposes. ADP is an opt-in security tool, which provides end-to-end encryption for iCloud services to those who want it. The UK's Home Office had refused to confir
