Apple is usually known for its security and privacy features in iPhones, iPads, Macs and other devices. According to Green (via Apple Insider), the law enforcement agencies, no longer need to break the strong encryption by Apple on an iPhone. This means the strongest data encryption doesn't safeguard as many data types as before. And the data types that are not in strong protection includes photos, texts notes and other location based data. According to Green, Apple may have forfeited maximum security to enable specific app or system features like location based reminders.
