Apple does not have access to the iPhones after the user puts in their user ID and password. Apple does not have the password, only the user has it. . . and the end to end encryption is 256 bit AES standard, higher than most of our government and financial institutions use. To open such an encryption REQUIRES that password, which is not even stored on the device, much less sent to Apple.
That’s fine, but Apple isn’t really the manufacturer now are they? I understood that they were manufactured in China.
