The UK government is reportedly reconsidering its January demand for Apple to create a backdoor for encrypted iCloud data, according to sources cited by the Financial Times. This potential reversal follows pressure from US officials, including JD Vance. Concerns are rising that maintaining the order could jeopardize technology deals with Washington, particularly given the potential influence of the Trump administration.
