Do you have a source on what they provide the NSA? According to their privacy policy they don’t access customer data unless they receive a warrant requesting iCloud data, and they have no access to data on the phone itself or what is transmitted.

edward snowden. according to his leaks they have been doing it since the early 2000s.

the only mechanism companies can use to disclose it somewhat is a warrant canary, and apple doesn’t have one.

I don’t put faith in everything Snowden says without explanation. Do you have a link with a detailed explanation of how this backdoor works?

Apple discloses warrant compliance on their legal site.

They didn’t do anything “with Apple”. The NSA added splitters to fiber optic lines to steal information. Apple never collaborated with the NSA, nor gave them information willingly.
