When the very first line of that table tells people that iCloud Backups are encrypted on the server... to then have the last few lines add effectively "Oh, but not end to end!" is just taking the piss.


You're absolutely right. They could have definitely misled anyone that didn't read the entire support article, including the first paragraph under Data Security:

>iCloud secures your information by encrypting it when it's in transit, storing it in iCloud in an encrypted format, and using secure tokens for authentication. For certain sensitive information, Apple uses end-to-end encryption. This means that only you can access your information, and only on devices where you’re signed into iCloud. No one else, not even Apple, can access end-to-end encrypted information.
