E2E encrypted is nothing if key escrow is happening.

Why did they change their wording from:

Nobody can read your data, not even Apple

to:

Apple cannot read your data.

You know why.

When did they change their wording?

If they didn't want you to think key escrow might be possible, why wouldn't they just leave the wording the way it was? Why go through the effort and thereby draw attention to it? The court system doesn't use sovcit rules where playful interpretation of wording can get a trillion dollar corporation out of a lawsuit or whatever.
