The whole OS is a blackbox. We trust that keyloggers are not everywhere. We need to trust completely or not at all. I think there is nothing between when the same vendor also supplying the underlying closed-source OS.

Agreed. But we are talking encryption and why there isn't open source algorithms for iCloud. I find it funny as when you submit iOS apps to the App Store they specifically require encryption standards and no "roll your own algos/cryptos" but at the same time all their crypto is a black box.

I'm a happy Apple user, love the OS...just saying.

This is not true.
