Do you have citations for “Apple has rolled over forms enforcement in the past”? I’m wondering if this is country-specific.
Fortunately you can still back up your devices locally, and store your photos locally, and these backups can be encrypted.

I don’t know about other countries, but Apple itself reports that it provided access to customer accounts at the US government’s request 90% of the time

With a warrant.

Sure, but if that’s your only concern, then you aren’t really concerned that to toggle is removed in the UK, either

Yeah, it’s 3rd party vendors like greykey and cellibrite that allow LEO to get around apples security.
To its credit, apple does a fairly decent job of staying ahead of the unlocking tech, but some older hardware and os are easily cracked.

Is this Hardware or software dependent when it comes to Android? Do you know? Curious about whether moving to graphene would even matter.

Yeah, i was reading some of the Graphene forum discussion the other day. Basicaly, grapheme is the only os on any hardware that concerns LEO and courts.
Reading about the one country where when graphene is found on a phone they automatically declare it “uncontrolled” and a “criminal tool”.

That is such bullshit. Just because people want their information private doesn’t mean they are a criminal. Glad it’s useful though. Definitely going to go graphene next. Not fond of getting a pixel, would really like a fairphone or something else more repairable, but security matters more to me.
