Apple Says It Has Never Worked With NSA To Create iPhone Backdoors

Anyone else notice that the bottom-right corner of the NSA doc is dated 20070108? Is that a month after the original iPhone was released or 6 months before?

Either way, quite the implication if the claims are authentic.

Plausible deniability can be an effective tool for a company too. It's certainly possible that Apple team members were indeed collaborating with the NSA (or FBI or some contractor equivalent) or that the NSA had access to Apple tech without the leadership aware of the specifics or even without any official corporate authorization/mandate in the first place.

My money is on January.

Never noticed that.
