You don't want that key to be in the box. Because of Apple printed it, they know it. It's better if the key is generated when you already have the phone.

- Nextgrid 5y agoWell if the alternative is the current situation where Apple has access anyway, a key that Apple may know is still a better idea. For even better security they can instead provide an NFC smartcard or hybrid NFC + USB (like a Yubikey) where the key is stored in hardware and can't be extracted.
- bqmjjx0kac 5y agoApple also pushes software updates to the phone, so does it really matter? I'd be more concerned about a third party intercepting and copying the key.
