Yes.
For an understanding of what data Apple gives surveillance operations access to, the following list is enumerated in an older Law Enforcement Access document: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12983081 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12983081
It's also important to understand that the purpose for this surveillance (this following section being informed by the Snowden Disclosures) is not merely for investigative work or for tracking down terrorists. Intelligence work of this kind is used in HUMINT operations (mass propaganda), for industrial espionage, for diplomatic espionage and for signals collections (intelligence used to break into networks).
It is not clear whether Apple shares these concerns with the US government, or whether it shares lesser concerns that show up at a much lower frequency.
