Encrypted doesnt necessarily matter. I dont trust apple to not give up the keys.

They’ve always refused in the past…

I know for a while that was true?

That didn’t stop Apple from handing over backups to the FBI that were swiftly decrypted after several high profile incidents (like the San Bernadino shooting), and I assume it would be even less difficult for them to fork over info for another Snowden if they use Apple products.

Didn’t Apple deny the FBI access for the San Bernardino shooting?

Apple provided the icloud backups. Apple did not provide the decryption key for unlocking the phone directly.
