  • Be Ware, if you have a device that cant be updated anymore, like an old iPhone or iPad, Apple forces you to delete that device from you account in order to proceed with the encription, losing synchronization with iCloud on those devices.

    So Apple chooses when a device stops getting software updates and that makes the device unfit to keep being synchronized with the cloud in a secure manner







  • Here are some things, some minor and some major, in general I think Apple software is not up to their previous standars and just mediocre, not bad, but neither good anymore…

    • Phone app doesn’t have an in depth history of every call, just some of the last conversations.
    • Spellcheck: someten alterado Saiz it (someone already said it…)

    • Siri: I just don’t know where to begin.
    • Apple Arcade: searching through Apple Arcade games is a nightmare.

    Besides all that I’m not sure if someone who wants to create it’s own implementation of all of this can do it without any apple device; reading jjtech technical explanation (https://jjtech.dev/reverse-engineering/imessage-explained/) where he explains pypush he mentions the obfuscation process for registering a device to apple servers, here is where pypush somehow manages to convince Apple that the machine is genuine, there is a mention there to some serial identifier stored on a file called data.plist, if someone wants to implement this proof of concept would need to give another serial identifier?
