Telling the FBI to bugger off when they came and asked apple to crack their own encryption isn't enough of an example, exigent as it may very well be, whatever your personal opinions of due process are?

No? Facebook and Google also refuse to crack their own encryption, but are still privacy concerns.
I'm extremely glad they did that, and I absolutely give them credit for it. But it only proves that they were willing to stand up to the FBI. It doesn't prove anything else about how they handle your data and privacy. I'm not saying that they abuse it, I'm just saying that we don't know what they do.
All we can do is look at the information so far and it indicates they care about privacy: https://www.apple.com/privacy/ and more specifically https://www.apple.com/privacy/government-information-request...
Well, that isn't nearly all of the information. That is what they say, just like FB says they they don't abuse your privacy.

They have already shown that they are willing to violate people's privacy. That is useful information.
