> The vast majority of iPhone users won't consider it a betrayal that they can't send images of child abuse

Probably neither would child abusers, since as soon as they send an image of child abuse, they're much more likely to be caught than if it had stayed on their phone.

> a betrayal by Apple that they allowed their privacy to be so flagrantly violated on their devices up until now.

"Their" devices? Once Apple sells an iPhone, it no longer belongs to Apple. Taking "betrayal" to mean "didn't plant backdoors on other people's computers to catch your abusers" is stretching that word far beyond reason.
