Good job. But the question; "Can Apple read my messages?" is just a funny question. The real question should be "Why does Apple want to read my messages?" If you send data to a specific provider using their software, then conceptually, all your data is already in their hands. Nothing to prove. So the point becomes motivation. Apple lose money if they lose customer's privacy. And they don't make big money from personal informations. They make money from customer's trust. So it's very unlikely to happen - the situation that Apple wants to read your message. Let's see another example. Google. The company officially scan and read all customers mails for advertising. And they make money - big money - from personal informations. Highly motivated to read your message. I don't say Google does. I just say Google is highly motivated.
