Apple – Privacy – Government Information Requests

I'd like to see a breakdown of exactly what they can provide with a device request and an account request.

I think that would be reasonable information to share, because it'd educate both law enforcement and the general public about what data is available from their devices.

Plus it'd settle the issue of word games- or at least bring it closer to being settled in my eyes. We can't get a good idea of what is going on with these 10k foot marketing pronouncements.

Page 4 onwards provides a list of information they provide to law enforcement agencies. Probably prudent if you're an apple customer to simply assume all of this information is as good as public.

I. Extracting Data from Passcode Locked iOS Devices

...

For all devices running iOS 8.0 and later versions, Apple will no longer be performing iOS data extractions as the data sought will be encrypted and Apple will not possess the encryption key.

Interesting. What changed in iOS 8, I wonder?

Law enforcement access is not the same as public access. I think it is extremely important to make that distinction. And there is one.
