    Ordinarily I wouldn’t care, but since Apple were forced to stop offering encryption in the UK I don’t want to use iCloud anymore. I’d rather my data be in my own cloud if iCloud is going to offer it up to GCHQ.

      Yeah, not being able to (realistically) backup iOS to non-iCloud with a simple solution is purely due to Apple only blessing iCloud and not letting alternatives develop. :(
