You have zero way of knowing that there aren’t some level of backdoors. There’s zero reason to think they wouldn’t fold for the US govt like they did for the Chinese government. Lastly there is no high ground here for Apple. It’s bad enough that they go above and beyond to dodge taxes and this is them doing more of that but in a somewhat more shameful way than normal. Fuck em.
It would be amazingly risky for Apple to hide backdoors in their products. One of their big selling points is their reputation for taking user data privacy seriously. If it ever came out that they’d helped a government by violating that, their credibility would be shot and they’d lose a noticeable percentage of customers overnight.
That’s not good business, so I don’t think they’d risk it.
If you think Apple has hidden backdoors, some class action lawsuits would love to know about it. They’ve filled their pockets on much much less damning evidence.
Their reputation amounts to them telling us that privacy is a human right but forgetting that the instant the Chinese government comes between Apple and money. Also if they were truly serious about security they would be open source. Like others have said, if the government wants a backdoor, they will get it no matter what apple says publicly because profits matter more than anything.
Remember back when the U.S. government had to go to the international hacker community to try and hack an iPhone about 10 years ago? I remember, and Pepperidge Farms remember. Maybe they’ve added backdoors since then, but there hasn’t been any evidence of that, and it wouldn’t be able to be kept quiet for very long of there were. You’re collecting down votes, but I don’t think you’re wrong.

Lol. If you don’t think Apple has backdoors in their products I have a bridge to sell you.
I’d be more interested in your background and knowledge of these backdoors than some bridge
