I rarely think Apple has done the right thing, but in this case they seem to be putting the privacy of their users above demands made by third parties, which is good.
Yeah, let’s wait if UK calls their bluff. Not that I think UK is right in this case, it’s just that people who make decisions in Apple are spineless pieces of shit.
Apple has a long history of being unwilling to bend the knee to govt requests.
I’m glad to see them taking a firm stance on this. I’m curious to see what the shareholders think if this happens, as one side of the coin is detrimental to their UK growth, but the other would result in their name being tarnished.

No, Apple don’t want to code a new logic, they already send any information any government requires, just via other methods.
