Haven't Apple previously claimed that their encryption works such that Apple themselves can't decrypt it no matter what? (IIRC this came up during the San Bernadino attack when the FBI requested that Apple decrypt/unlock a suspect's iPhone and Apple said they couldn't.) Is this not a change? Maybe I'm confusing iCloud encryption vs. iPhone encryption and the former doesn't have any of those guarantees?
