A very misleading headline and article, by the normally intelligent Martin Armstrong. Apple will not “create a backdoor” simply because the insane UK government orders it to. Notice, the government did not order Google to create a backdoor for Samsung or Motorola or Google phones. They all have backdoors built in as “features”. But Apple is different. It doesn’t play that game. The US government under Obama under the pretext of a terrorist interrogation, demanded that Apple create software to break into the terrorists phone. Apple politely refused, explaining it doesn’t have ‘backdoors” and if it were to create one then everyone would have access to it, defeating the Apple promise of user control of their own privacy. If they did that, they would be just like all the others, whose users don’t care about privacy, and nobody would buy an Apple phone at their higher price, which is justified mainly on Apple commitment to security, privacy, and quality.
So, Apple did not obey the UK government and Martin could use Apple iCloud, with the user data fully encrypted and untouched by Apple.
