None of that matters if the government just asks Apple to put out a targeted update and break encryption or leak the keys.
You're still relying on blind faith in good actions.

As I said, the government did ask them to do that.
Apple refused and then rearchitected their hardware so they couldn't even if they wanted to.
And no, Apple bakes in immutable encryption during chip fabrication. They literally cannot update it.

There's no blind faith involved. Apple has one of the best security teams in the world. If they decided to punch a hole in their flagship product security, I am very certain at least one engineer would speak up about it.
