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.

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

Hard disagree. The most reasonable response would be to refuse to comply, organize, and fight it in court. But that would cost them money. And they don’t care about their users that much.
