Not surprised by this. Apple is part of the PRISM program after all.

I'm reminded of when the FBI demanded to crack the iPhone [1] Apple publicly refused, then released an update to the secure element/fingerprint reader [2] bricking phones, followed by a 'fix' [3] and then wow, FBI can crack the shooters iPhone [4]. Gotta hand it to them. They put on a great show. Fools most of the people all of the time.
