Yeah, but it'll be Secure Enclave in data centre hardware, not on your phone. Basically they're just using their own proprietary HSMs to encrypt data on the server.
Not convinced that this will really add any privacy benefits over other confidential computing solutions already offered by AWS/Google Cloud/Azure. That said, it is fairly private - just not as good as on-device.
I’m not saying it’ll be any more secure/private, as like I said I don’t know the technical details behind it. But that is the explanation for why they’re using all of their own chips for it.
