UK May Backtrack on Controversial Demand for Backdoor to Encrypted Apple User Data


The British government may be forced to drop its plans to force Apple to build a backdoor to access encrypted user data, the Financial Times reports....

The demand to build a backdoor into ‌iCloud‌ and break Apple's end-to-end encryption could impede vital technology agreements with the U.S. related to artificial intelligence and data partnerships, and has already caused friction between the two governments. Senior members of the U.S. administration, including the President, Vice-President, and Director of National Intelligence, have all raised strong objections to the British government's request. The battery capacity of Apple's rumored iPhone 17 Air will be below the 3,000 mAh mark, according to a recent post from Instant Digital, an account with more than 1.4 million followers on Chinese social media platform Weibo.
