(Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)Apple announced on Wednesday that it plans to allow users to encrypt additional kinds of iCloud data on its servers, including full backups, photos and notes. Encrypted backups will be opt-in, according to Apple, and will be available in the U.S. before the end of the year. While Apple has previously encrypted a lot of data it stores on servers, entire device backups that included text messages, contacts, and other important data were not end-to-end encrypted, and Apple previously had access to the contents of the backups. It also means that user data content would not be exposed if Apple's servers were ever breached. At the time, Apple said that an unencrypted iCloud backup on its servers was an option to get the same data.

☆ How to analyze an earnings report — Part 1: The income statement

Part 1: Income statement In the financial statements that companies report to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shareholders on a quarterly and annual basis, there are three main sections: the income statement, the balance statement and the cash flow statement. The income statement gives us our best view of management's performance. Operating income Once we remove operating expenses from gross margin dollars , we are left with what is known as operating income. Some companies will report a line item before reporting operating income referred to as "EBITDA," which stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization . Remove this from operating income or "EBIT" and we are left with "EBT" (earnings before taxes), which Apple refers to intuitively as "income before provision for income taxes."

If iMessage is truly a major reason that iPhone users stick around, then Apple is on a slippery slope. The more these interoperability issues plague Apple users, the more users will find ways around iMessage. The undistorted reality is, despite Tim Cook's comments, Apple users do want interoperability.

Apple CEO Tim Cook poses for a portrait next to a line of new MacBook Airs as he enters the Steve Jobs Theater during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California on June 6, 2022 . Apple CEO Tim Cook recently gave the closest thing to a confirmation that Apple's building a headset. Cook was asked in a recent interview with China Daily USA what he thinks the key factors are for augmented reality, or AR, to succeed in the consumer market. AR or "mixed reality" describes technology that superimposes computer-generated images over views of the real world, contrasted with virtual reality, or VR, which completely immerses the viewer in a computer-generated world. It's one of the clearest examples yet of Cook acknowledging that Apple has something bigger in the works.
