"Apple dropped plan for encrypting backups after FBI complained" doesn't sound privacy oriented to me. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-fbi-icloud-excl

  Navigating the complexities of dealing with different governments is not the same as having their own anti-privacy agenda. Of course they should encrypt the backups, but perhaps the alternative was going to be some kind of legislation that would be even worse.

    > navigating the complexities of dealing with different governments That's how kids call "handing over all cloud customer data to FBI" these days? Holy whitewashing batman, that's a lot of speculative mental gymnastics. To put it simply you have no evidence that supports Apple here other than a "but perhaps the alternative was... whatever I just came up with" . To paraphrase yourself in another comment: "that's intellectual dishonesty about Apple." If Apple cared a single bit about privacy it would have encrypted customer data from the begining instead of planning to eventually do it one day only to give up uppon FBI request.
