If the statement isn't true, then why did Apple stop making that claim? It's because my statement is true. Apple was capable of getting the data.

It is possible for Apple to build a device that Apple wouldn't have been able to access the data on, as they claimed. That isn't what they provided to their customers.

You're using bad faith arguments to defend a multi-trillion dollar company that pushes a restrictive model of computing on its customers for its own benefit for what purpose?

Apple can't access the data on the devices. They've spent absolute fucktons of money building their infrastructure that way, and they give up hundreds of millions of dollars that Meta and Google gladly suck up by not monetizing their customers' data.

Apple provides me with the devices I want that do the things I want them to do. "restrictive model of computing" is a concept that doesn't really mean anything. I can do anything I want on my Mac. My iPhone is way more locked down, and it doesn't bother me a bit. My guess is that like most Apple haters, you don't use Apple devices and have taken up a cause against them based on things that don't have any effect on you.
