Apple intelligence is dumb

At WWDC 2024, Apple announced its first major AI feature "Apple Intelligence", which brings a suite of new tools to the iPhone and Mac.

#Apple has it's own foundation models, but will also rely on #OpenAI in the cloud for certain #AI jobs.

#Apple silently uploads your #passwords and keeps them

This is a follow-up to my blog post macOS Sonoma silently enabled iCloud Keychain despite my precautions from five months ago. The TL;DR of that blog post is that when you have iCloud enabled but not iCloud Keychain, updating from Ventura to Sonoma causes iCloud Keychain to be silently enabled. (I don't know yet whether that still occurs when updating from Sonoma to Sequoia.) What I didn't realize at the time, indeed didn't realize until now, is that iCloud Keychain already uploaded all of my passwords and kept them in iCloud even after I disabled iCloud Keychain...

UK Tribunal Blocks Secret Gov’t Case Against Apple Encryption

A government that demands invisibility in court is one step away from disappearing accountability altogether.

With a necessary reality check, a #UK tribunal has told the government that, no, it cannot hold a secret legal battle against #Apple over #encryption. The Investigatory Powers Tribunal (#IPT), the body meant to oversee the country’s surveillance powers, has dismissed efforts by the Home Office to keep the entire case hidden from public view. And in doing so, it has delivered a quietly important win for press freedom and digital rights. Although, things are far from over.

Graphite Caught: First Forensic Confirmation of Paragon’s iOS Mercenary Spyware Finds Journalists Targeted | The Citizen Lab

On April 29, 2025, a select group of iOS users were notified by Apple that they were targeted with advanced spyware. Among the group were two journalists that consented for the technical analysis of their cases. The key findings from our forensic analysis of their devices are summarized below:

Our forensic analysis concluded that one of the journalist’s devices was compromised with Paragon’s Graphite spyware in January and early February 2025 while running iOS 18.2.1. We attribute the compromise to Graphite with high confidence because logs on the device indicated that it made a series of requests to a server that, during the same time period, matched our published Fingerprint P1. We linked this fingerprint to Paragon’s Graphite spyware with high confidence.

⚡ How Much Data Are #Apple & #Google Really Collecting?

In my interview with 7Sees, we broke down just how much data Big Tech is harvesting from your phone—even when you're not using it.

A study out of Trinity College in Dublin found that across U.S. users, Apple collects about 12GB of data every 12 hours—that’s like 6 full-length movies. But Google? They collect 20 times that. Over 1 terabyte.

This isn’t just background activity—it’s a billion-dollar spy industry disguised as convenience.

This combination enabled malicious actors to disseminate exploits via WhatsApp, resulting in potential data exfiltration from the user's Apple device.

The attack sequence involved:
🚫Attacker-controlled delivery
🚫Malicious DNG/remote image (Imagel0) parsing vulnerability (OOB write)
➿ Remote code execution
All occurring without user engagement.
