1. This isn't news about Apple's encryption, it's just that the status quo is here to stay. Your Apple device is as secure/private as it has been, and will probably not get any better. It's disappointing, but not really much of a revelation to anyone who's been paying attention since 2012 (or earlier).
2. The way the headline is phrased vindicates an orthogonal personal decision I made to not purchase hardware or software from Apple.
Given your most recent comment, at some point, you must have assumed a lot of things that a) aren't true and b) I never stated or implied.
