You are wrong. Apple merely said "no backdoors will be created into any of our systems".
And no backdoors into any of Apple's systems are necessary because a government-owned company will be operating iCloud, including the keystore.
Apple's terms of service make this very clear:
"You understand and agree that Apple and GCBD will have access to all data that you store on this service"

- fauigerzigerk 8y agoSo Apple is saying one thing to the media and another thing in their legally binding customer agreement. Someone should ask Apple which one it is, because these statements seem completely irreconcilable to me.
- bduerst 8y agoYep - saying there are "no backdoors" isn't the same as giving front door access.
