Advanced Data Protection (ADP)

Apple's opt-in feature since iOS 16.2 (December 2022 in US, global by iOS 16.3) that extends end-to-end encryption to iCloud Backup, iCloud Drive, Photos, Notes, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks and most other classes. Apple holds no decryption key and cannot honour a production order for ADP-protected data.
