She was “upgrading” and having the data transferred.
Apple needs to make sure all carriers are never getting anywhere close to this process, this is Apple’s responsibillity to fscillitate and they also need to warn users if they don’t have AdvancedDataProtection (half-ass e2ee but closer to ideal than the alternatives currently outside or encrypted local backups) that the they (Apple employees or government) have access to all data uploaded to iCloud so same problem and also even if its ADP, all the metadata names and file info is available. So if you have raunchily named “selfies”, thats fair game.

Apple has already done this. You should never need anyone to help you upgrade at all. Backup to iCloud and wipe the device. Then during setup restore from backup.
It’s easy as fuck. My 6 year old transferred all of his iPad data to his new one on his own.
There’s nothing Apple can do from stopping retarded users from giving their iCloud account information to someone else.

How do iCloud backups work in the context of ADP but also given the “limitations” (exposed metadata, names, dates, etc)? Is the iCloud backup a homogenous or monolithic? I don’t get how that’s reconciled if the backup itself is e2ee…
