Apple has removed security features from iPhones in the UK, in response to demands from the government to be given access to user data. The tech giant is removing its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) system, which encrypts user files uploaded to the cloud.
It comes after reports that the British government issued Apple with a order under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 to provide “back door” access to its devices, which would allow intelligence agencies to spy on users.
