I don't want any part of my personal data (what I write, what I photograph, what I record, what I jot down) to be viewed by anything by my own eyes or the encryption algorithm converting it to ciphertext to send across a secure channel WITHOUT MY CONSENT.

Period.

Reason: again, nobody's business.

If you don't get this then, a) you're not in a high-risk group for discrimination, or b) you've never been subjected systemic polices designed to keep you "in line".

I do get this. I don't know why you'd assume I don't.

And the sentiment behind your comment seems very reasonable, reading past its non-sequitur tone.

I do wonder if my privacy awareness has a connection with the fact that I lived the first 13 years of my life under an eastern block dictatorship ...

However in this case I'm also concerned about needless power consumption. Especially on battery.

In most cases the one using most power in a modern smartphone is the display.

And knowing Apple, the RAG-stuff will be done overnight when the phone is charging, not during use.
