The security is based on the premise that Apple is unable to decrypt as they do not keep a record of the devices unique ID that is the base of all the cryptography.

What if that is not true? What if the device has a built-in keylogger to just get all the crypto from the user input? be it a passcode or a fingerprint.

Wouldn´t it be partly better if this were based on a trully public key cryptography with a randomly generated private key generated each time the device is factory reset?
