If you think Apple will obey Trump orders to spy on its users, but that they wouldn't obey Biden/Harris orders to do the same; I think you have an unrealistic view.

the corporate stance is irrelevant: all it takes is one low level schmuck with access and enough police record to be subject to "pressure".

I do think Apple would comply with either administration, but Trump might change the laws enough to make it harder for Apple to protect its system integrity.

This isn't the case with advanced data security, the true E2EE mode. OTOH, then it's you that gets the rubber hose.
