#3This may be annoying, but it’s uploading encrypted versions of passwords, not passwords themselves. Keychain is end-to-end encrypted so no one else can read them.

Normally you have to explicitly install and use a cloud stored password manager, automatically making the choice for you is a big no-no

They silently enable the option to store in the Cloud on OS update?
They offer no option to delete your passwords from the Cloud once there?
If that's indeed how they all/always work, we shouldn't just Stockholm-syndrome accept it!

Are you sure Apple can’t read them too?

They say they can’t, but it’s impossible to be certain. Although, if you distrust Apple enough to think they might lie about it, you probably wouldn’t want to use any Apple device or services. They already have privileged access to the software and hardware.

Yes. SIP means Apple is the real sudo now. You can’t disable their special relationship on their computers

The fact that the phone manufacturer has a more privileged access than the owner of the phone is absolute insanity.

It's not even about lies. It's about bugs and vulnerabilities, which every vendor has.
