UK loses bid to keep Apple appeal against demand for iPhone ‘backdoor’ a secret

Apple won a legal battle against the U.K. government’s attempt to keep secret its appeal over demands to create a “backdoor” into iPhone users’ encrypted data.

The U.K.’s Investigatory Powers Tribunal ruled that holding the hearing in complete secrecy would violate the principle of open justice.

Apple had appealed a government order requiring access to data protected by its Advanced Data Protection system, CNBC has reported.

As a result of the order, Apple pulled the feature for U.K. users in February, reaffirming it has never and will never build a backdoor into its products.
