I'm really impressed that Apple has been able to convince a significant number of people that it genuinely cares about privacy.

I think it’s the fact that whenever the government has tried to force them to unlock phones for them or install backdoors allow them to do so, they’ve very publicly crashed flat into an Apple brick wall.

It's not so much that anybody has been convinced, but that Apple themselves are incentivized to preserve the privacy of their customers to some degree.

Say what you mean - are you saying that Aopple doesn't respect privacy, or that do but they somehow don't "care" about it?
