Apple Navigates Government Requests Amid Privacy Concerns
What happened
Apple Inc. is reportedly balancing user privacy against government demands and is also providing information to media outlets regarding government inquiries. Historical accounts detail how the company has navigated government requests, including those from the FBI regarding devices used in the San Bernardino attack in 2015. During this time, Apple was asked to help law enforcement access a device by creating a version of iOS that would circumvent security protections.

For example, Tim Cook stated in 2014 that the company was operating under a gag order regarding government demands, though he insisted there were no backdoors in the company's servers.
