As its all proprietary you can’t, and basically nobody can, say anything about a backdoor. It’s pure trust in this corporation.

It’s not proprietary. It’s the AES 256 standard.

The OS is, it runs everything and can do anything locally.

People were claiming Apple was secretly keeping deleted photos in the cloud. Which was what my parent comment was about.

iCloud is proprietary by definition because Apple has not publicly released its source code under a free license.

Yes. I’m referring to the encryption standard and I’m saying the photos stored in the cloud service are E2EE.

AES is a specification, not a piece of software. Closed-source software like iCloud that implements the AES specification is still proprietary.
