If there's one thing that we have learned over the last few years from Snowden et al, we have learned that it is safe to assume that these state actors will be trying all the avenues that you or I can think of, and spend years discovering new ones that we have not thought of.

You make a good case that Apple are far ahead as industry leaders here; that seems solid. It's less solid that this means they are impervious, or that the thinking "I can't see any holes in this process, therefore there are no holes in it" is sound.

That is worth doing; but I still find it quite likely that such a backdoor is existent or doable.
