Up to now Apple has been pretty good about privacy. They’ve gone back-and-forth with the government over unlocking phones seized from so-called terrorists.
If Apple put in a feature where they could go into anyone’s phone anywhere and start remotely scanning the photos, videos, text messages, location history, notes or the web history on the phone itself, that opens them up to abuse from the NSA or the FBI.
Then these federal agencies would be knocking on Apple door and asking them for remote access to anyone who visited Syria or anyone in DC on January 6th, 2021, for example.
