I’m very concerned to know what this key logger translates into.

For example all the apps on the iPhone are continually updating via the App Store. Does Apple now have access to my 2FA information?

does Apple now have access without my consent to my proton account?

No what they’re talking about is the search bar in the App Store transmits what you type into it. So your searches in the App Store are transmitted to Apple, even before you hit search.

One might assume anything you type into a non privacy respecting online app or website is logged.
