iCloud data is only secured by Apple controlled passwords. Your iDevice data is secured by your passcode which Apple does not possess, and it does not want to create backdoors on your iPhone to enable access.
In the San Bernardino terrorist incident, the cops screwed up the procedure to recover iCloud backups on the device, then blamed Apple for refusing to hack the device security.
- jsiepkes 6y agoIf Apple wanted they could implement iCloud in such a way that they couldn't decrypt the data. For example Tresorit ( https://tresorit.com/ https://tresorit.com/ ) works like that. It is kinda odd that for the iPhone they chose to implement it in such a way they can't access the data yet iCloud was designed in such a way they can. I guess one could argue that the phone is really property of the customer and Apple's servers obviously not. Though I would argue in both cases the data is the property of the customer.
