So basically - You take a picture. Apple encrypts it and uploads it to their server. The server matches the (still encrypted) picture to a database and tells your device "this picture contains the Eiffel Tower". Later when you search for Eiffel Tower on your device the photo pops up.
Is the complexity and security risk really worth it for such a niche feature?
It's also funny that Apple is simultaneously saying "don't worry the photo is encrypted so we can't read it" and "we are extracting data from the encrypted photo to enhance your experience".
