Only the US is allowed to backdoor every company globally! /s

There is no backdoor in Apple’s encryption. That’s the reason the US and UK governments have prosecuted Apple repeatedly. They can obtain iCloud data with a warrant, but are repeatedly pressing for real-time surveillance. The UK banned encryption without a backdoor, so Apple turned off encryption rather than compromising their standard.

These things you write, they are not in any way substantiation of the claim that Apple doesn't make backdoors.

Feck you too, I guess. If that's how you want to behave.
I could understand you being unhappy with our government, but just blanket swearing at all 68 million of us is a dick move.

That's because it's categorically impossible to prove a negative.

In theory you can learn mind reading from some fantasy universe and check every Apple person. Or ask a crystal ball. Or use some other way to collect full information about our universe, check every rabbit hole, so to say, and then confidently confirm "there's no Apple backdoor here". "Here" meaning this plane of existence.
In practice yes.
EDIT: Forgot - the "refused to cooperate" and "they have disagreements" things even in daily wisdom don't change the probability of Apple having made backdoors. It's PR. You most likely won't learn it from the news if they do, in fact, cooperate.

"brevity is the soul of wit"
~Shakespeare
"Um actually, wit is actually a subjective phenomenon, with everyone having a different idea of what it actually means. How could such a construct actually possess a 'soul'? And that's not even getting started on the assertion that souls actually exist in any real way".

The funny thing is, advanced data protection was optional, and not on by default. Apple just stopped offering it in the UK
How to turn on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud - Apple Support
Advanced Data Protection for iCloud offers our highest level of cloud data security and protects the majority of your iCloud data using end-to-end encryption.
Apple Support (support.apple.com)
When it’s enabled, they can’t access iCloud data at all, even with a warrant due to the fact it’s E2E with keys they don’t control. That’s what the UK got really mad about. But Apple shut the whole feature down for the UK in response to the backdoor ask.
It’s not different from the UK banning signal because it’s E2E encrypted and they can’t access it.
They’re likely only backing down now because of consumer/media backlash
