Apple Doubling Down On iOS Encryption

Looks like Apple is doubling down on iOS encryption due to government hacking, according to the New York Times. As we already know the FBI is fighting for a backdoor into Apple products which wouldn't require a password. Even if that would happen, Apple could change their encryption method and the government would need to engage in another legal battle to earn a way around the new model. A change in security would also likely close a hole in Apple product privacy. For example, the ability to access iCloud backups stored on Apple servers.
