A Message to Our Customers

What I don't understand is why Apple could create such software but a hacker could not exploit it. I feel like that mean that there is already a backdoor.

Because you can only deploy it, when you have Apple's private key.

And that's one of the main reason for Apple to say no to that.

There is no way that a backdoor like this could not be exploited by someone else if they found out the way to do it.

The other one is that there is no way the government can guarantee Apple to only use in the "right" cases after they have access to it.

As you say, 'Apple could create'. It doesn't exist, what could the hacker even target?
