Apple gives up customers' data when presented with simple data requests. Not all of the data they gave up was in response to subpeonas or warrants. Most tech companies have portals for law enforcement to simply ask, without a warrant, for users' data, and the companies often voluntarily share the requested data without any coercion from courts.

Yes, Apple is no different than any other tech company in that regard. The difference is that Apple's PR tells you otherwise. The whole San Bernardino shooting case had many people on HN saying that it meant that Apple would refuse to work with law enforcement when law enforcement would ask for users' data, even to the point of challenging subpeonas and warrants in court. That is clearly not the case.
