It seems like the Cupertino company would have canceled the encryption of backups or backups in iCloud so as not to harm the investigations that were being carried out by the FBI. This was a couple of years ago and the agency Reuters confirms it. With the cancellation of this encrypted encryption in the copies of iCloud Apple shows that it is willing to help the authorities of the country even after receiving direct accusations of not wanting to collaborate, even from the presidency of the country.
What if Apple hadn't canceled it?
Well basically that with this full encryption encryption of the iCloud copies nor would the company itself have access to them and therefore the information stored such as photos, messages, browsing history, passwords, user information or information of any kind could never have been offered to the authorities. Therefore, after a meeting with the FBI itself, the Cupertino company decided not to implement this encryption and in this way it integrates not being accused of protecting data from criminals ... In the end, everything and with that the firm continues to be the target of attacks for it.
The FBI itself sued Apple before the United States court for not cooperating in 2016 in the case of the terrorist from San Bernardino, California. In this sense, the most recent case is that of Pensacola in December and this may be a sum and it goes on, although it is true that the security and privacy of the users is more than guaranteed with the iPhone It seems that the country's authorities continue to want to find a hole to gain access to the terminals, even though this implies a total abuse and violation of people's privacy.
"Although it is true that the security and privacy of users is more than guaranteed with the iPhone"
Given everything that has been seen to date, speaking of security and privacy, NOTHING can be guaranteed, even if it is an iPhone. Claiming otherwise is naive to say the least ...
