Nowhere in the article does it say that Apple actually compromised the end to end nature of an iMessage conversation. All I see is this:<p>&gt; Apple could collaborate with law enforcement to provide a false key, thereby intercepting a specific user’s messages, and the user would be none the wiser.<p>Key word is &quot;could&quot;. Apple &quot;could&quot; also use its signing keys to install any kind of software on your phone to do whatever it wants. For example, to read your keychain and pull your private keys.
