So you say it doesn't matter if there is no encryption at all because,
anyway, the encryption could be circumvented. But even 256 bit
encryption is not so easy to decrypt.

Sure! People are more interested in a $200 iPhone that they might have
problems finding a provider for than in the data it contains!

So, when, despite all that Apple pretends, there is no security at all,
Mactards prefer to say "Who needs security anyways?"

It seems I'm just losing my time discussing security with a Mactard.
