That would be quite a coordination.  I doubt it, because the debate will inform the public about encryption, and there are people watching Apple&#x27;s moves here who are prepared to call them out if they give anything but the best security in future versions of the iPhone.<p>Personally I track the software Snowmen endorses and use that as a gauge.  You can google that and compare the security features of software out there.  The ones snowden uses are open source and have the most security features.<p>That doesn&#x27;t say anything about Apple, but the idea that it is coordinated, given Cook&#x27;s private life and his stance on privacy, seems slim to me.  Note also that Apple was the last major company to be forceably joined into the Prism program.  They&#x27;ve always been resistant.
