The real lynchpin here is not hardware, but iCloud.  Apple can pull data out of an iCloud backup, and the only reason the San Bernadino case even got off the ground is because somebody at the county screwed up and effectively prevented the backup from occurring.<p>iCloud backups can be secured so not even Apple can get in them, but it is fundamentally much harder to secure (can&#x27;t be hareware-entangled and still restore to a new device), and it would significantly complicate iCloud password changes.  I&#x27;m sure they are working on it, but it is nontrivial.<p>That (software) problem is the real reason 99% of users are still exposed, as you say the hardware and secure enclave holes are basically closed.
