Do you have anything substantive to say around E2EE encryption on iMessage?
The whole point of E2EE is so that a middle man, including the Apple, cannot read it. Apple has been very publicly opposed to providing encryption backdoors that could be accessed by Apple, law enforcement, etc. Backdoors usually get sniffed out and become widespread security vulnerabilities.
Thats their marketing strategy. Selling you a device no one can spy you except us. ;)
That’s not how E2EE works. If they did have a back door, that would eventually get exploited and we’d all learn about it.
