True, there is not a very good track record of these kinds of statements having any sort of merit…
But this is a different use case than drop box: only iOS devices can see this app data blob (exception: iWork docs) so there is never a need to decrypt on the server.
My thought process is why the hell would they want that liability if they don't need it? And if they don't need to decrypt on the server why would they want to transmit anything other than encrypted data to and from their servers?
Funny, isn't that similar to what Dropbox said? :)
