You can criticise Apple for taking too long on this - it should have been standard long ago. But well done to them for taking this important step in allowing users to have control of their own data!
Which part are you referring to? Physical keys they are a bit late, but everywhere else they are way ahead of the rest of the industry. iMessage has been end to end encrypted since its debut in 2011 over a decade ago. That was unheard of back then.
The horror of the Foxconn China has done extensive damage to Apple image. Craig Federighi, Tim Cook and the other Apple executives have lost whatever credibility they had. The lack of judgment of Tim Cook has also done extensive damage to Apple image. Why Tim Cook has decided year after year to all the ’’eggs in the same basket’’. Tim Cook could have decided years ago to diversify the production of Apple products in several countries; this is common sense, basic risk management!

Anyone else wondering how they had multiple angles of Craig despite this interview taking place over video call? Did they also have a film team on site? Did they just request Craig setup multiple cameras? Are these just cleverly cropped angles from the one singular webcam?? So many questions WSJ
I'm happy to answer that! Apple shot two camera angles on their end with their crew and we shot two camera angles on our end with our crew. Then... editing! Only way to make a remote interview look good.
@@joannastern4463 wow, thanks for the response! I understand this interview was specifically tailored to the advanced security features but did you have a chance to ask about any other topics? (China airdrop censorship, Apple car rumors, xOS trademarks, AR headset announcement, etc)?
Thanks for asking about China. I love how Craig answered the question😂. Unfortunately the iPhone is too expensive for many users in China but I hope this feature can make it onto older iPhones which will be more affordable to Chinese users.
@@buttermashpotatoes4617 The US government is what you care about. They have alot of customers outside the US and alot more to be clear. The US isn't Apple's main market

@@gokuaravind It doesn't make him good for the company; it just makes him good for investors. From misleading marketing statements to claiming that "what happens on an iPhone stays on an iPhone".

I love this please keep on protecting the individuals and helping your customers protect themselves. Nobody should be able to get into someone’s personal phone. Not a hacker and not a police officer for sure not the government. Privacy is a liberty that’s held dear by Americans and the war for our privacy is threatened every day.
If I have already setup a Physical Security Key for my Apple ID, do I still need to generate the an account recovery code for Apple iCloud Advance Data Protection ? In other words, what the difference between Physical Security Key vs. Account Recovery Code (in iCloud)? Can I not use the same Physical Security Key to cover both my Apple ID and iCloud Advance Data Protection? It would be much easier to a keep a Physical Security Key than a printed Account Recovery Code.
How is it work between the device under the same account? Are they sharing the same private key on the device? What happen if one device is not update to the latest software version which has this feature? How is new iPhone setup work? Is the old device sharing the private key to the new iPhone when doing the quick setup?
This isn’t ‘end to end’ encryption, it is ‘zero knowledge encryption’. ‘End to end’ encryption already existed on iMessage, but the backups in iCloud were not encrypted and could be read by Apple and security services.
Haha, it's all staged - just look at the multiple camera angles of him during the video. The pods are very likely not used or maybe only to hear the journalist. Makes the whole interview thing feel even more like a marketing stunt to me.
@@martinmaertinthey use the AirPods to hear what the other person is saying in real time. The video feed they chat via is not shown in the finished product. That is filmed locally on cameras and then edited together after the fact.
@@martinmaertin What @Space Cadet said. 100% AirPod's microphone quality is not that good. But there's no reason to believe he's not listening to the call with them. If you owned a company that produced goods and services, regardless of the status of it, would you really not try and get some extra marketing in for other products you may not even be discussing? Joanna, the interviewer, actually replied in the comments section to someone pointing out all the cuts and questioning the validity of the journalism. She basically said of course they set up two cameras and a mic at each party's location to make for a quality video, rather than posting a one sided screen recording of a video call. It doesn't necessarily mean all the questions are known beforehand and it's purely actors going over a script. I'm still open to the thought that they did discuss questions that were off grounds and would neither result in Apple getting their message, which yes is still marketing, spread as much as possible, and WSJ not getting a high profile interview at all. Anything a company publicizes is inherently a form of marketing, as long as the public is their target market.
Yep I wish I understood and new more about this growing up as a kid and how to use best practice to keep me and my data safe from both physical attacks and remote attacks and especially from just being at the wrong place at the wrong time attacks.
Ok I’m what type of situation would we need to “recover”our data? If I get a new phone I just log in with my Apple ID and PW right????? This end to end encryption does not affect iCloud backups correct!!?? Where in the world do you get a key if you don’t want to use a contact??!
A reddit user found someone else’s files in his iCloud library which included bank credentials and other logins, some people said it also happened to them ;so hopefully this update will solve it
Basically after this feature rolls out everything besides Calendar, Mail, and Contacts is fully e2e-encrypted (those are exempt because they need to interoperable with other services) ASSUMING YOU OPT-IN OF COURSE
@@MatejaMaric thanks, you’re not helpful or cute. I can do that. I will do that. But for journalistic integrity and citing sources, why hasn’t the WSJ done that work?
@@lascurettes The iPhone shows which services are protected (and has the link to the page with more details), but as mentioned in the video, its all except mail, contacts and calendar
A bit simplified, but informative. And I think because it’s some as prestigious at Joanna, she gets away with some of the questions. Or maybe it’s that Craig isn’t as guarded/critical.
Interesting interview, but I find it questionable that you ask about china and made no mention about the us, when the fbi has come out saying it doesn’t like this extra security either.
Solid interview. Thank you for the plain-speak verbiage for those of us still a little new to the topic. I feel as if you have our back. Your questions have a pitch speed somewhere between softball and hardball, so direct but not rude. Also thanks for not wearing those dorky looking white pods while respectfully speaking with a fellow human being.
How can this security contact help to decrypt/retrieve the data? If the password is lost the password is lost? Or should the password be told to this person?
Apple holds a partial key that is useless on it own. Your contact holds another partial key thats useless on its own. Combined, these keys can decrypt your photo.
I'm loving the new features, like not being able to protest against this rich and oppressive government that shall not be named, and the enhanced tracking of all my actions on the app store. Truly a redefined experience that excites me for the future.
Great work explaining this for most people to understand without skipping the important points that us security enthusiasts want to know.
You can criticise Apple for taking too long on this - it should have been standard long ago. But well done to them for taking this important step in allowing users to have control of their own data!
Yes finally. Particularly the Yubico part. Thank you Apple.

All scripted bro, WSJ and Apple seem to have a good understanding.
Craig’s cheesy grin when saying the Chinese government haven’t told him how they feel on their encryption 😂
When people like Marques Brownlee or iJustine interview Craig, they ask advertising questions. Meanwhile WSJ asks more technically advanced questions.
I agree. These interviews are closer to the definition of journalism. It's even in the name lol
Thanks for asking about China. I love how Craig answered the question😂. Unfortunately the iPhone is too expensive for many users in China but I hope this feature can make it onto older iPhones which will be more affordable to Chinese users.
Apple has more than 50% market share in China now
It will be on every single iPhone you can update

4:12 the way Craig looked away once Joanna mentioned investigations really cracked me up😂
Great interview! Every question that popped up in my mind as I watched this was answered in the next question.
This is one thing I definitely give Apple big props for!
Is there an uncut version where we hear all his answers?
You mean the uncircumcised version?
No

Way to dance around that question. 😎
Are you implying that all of this is a giant scam and that none of it is actually encrypted? 🤦♂️

she really grilled them in the last interview, good on her.

It's a human right! And they respect it!
aka why I use an iPhone
Lol. Don’t be too trusting. This is all closed source. We are just taking their word for it.

Great piece
Very well explained about apple's new security feature -Advanced data protection. Great feature and great work done by apple.
putting the customer first no matter what this is why apple is number one.
Note that NO other cloud provider in the mainstream is end-to-end encrypted. This is an industry FIRST.
