The somewhat paranoid, but possibly correct conclusion here, just like with some of the other recent "acts of chaos" (election tampering, and other misinformation campaigns) is to "Blame Russia". This might be one of the simpler explanations - Russia planted the data / evidence / sources to Bloomberg, with the sole objective being to sow chaos in the world. This, to me, is the only explanation where it makes sense that both sides think they're right - Bloomberg really did have those sources and Apple et al really didn't find any evidence of this tampering. (Rewind to the hours after the presidential election - those who were blaming Russia already were labeled as kooks, right?)
