I didn't follow up on the Reuters news piece from January titled "Exclusive: Apple dropped plan for encrypting backups after FBI complained - sources". Has it been confirmed? If yes, then your assertion is most probably correct.

- claudeganon 6y agoThat Reuter's piece is original reporting that Apple never responded to, so I would say that it's all but confirmed that they did in fact do this at the FBI's request.
- Hermel 6y agoDo you mean “all but” literally (everything except confirmed) or colloquially (absolutely confirmed)? (I hate the term “all but”. I find it often hard to tell what people actually want to say when using it.)
- claudeganon 6y agoThe former. For it to be the latter, Apple or FBI would have to explicitly state as much.
