They don't have to send anything since they do all the image recognition on the user's own device.

Sending everything to a server is, however, how Google's service works.

No they don't, the whole reason for Homomorphic encryption is sending stuff out of your device.

You don't need any encryption to process locally.

    The erroneous claim was that Apple handles image recognition and image search on servers, the way Google does.

    Apple handles those tasks on the users own device(s) for privacy reasons.
