    Well for one, iMessage runs over the internet and Apple isn’t a telecom company (Verizon, etc)

    Either way, the TL;DR is that either there must be a backdoor or something else to allow law enforcement to access communications that run over telecom companies. This doesn’t apply when a user does it, but definitely when telecom companies design a messaging protocol.

      yes I know Apple isn’t a Telecoms company but you need a SIM from a Telecoms company to use iMessage. RCS runs over the Internet too, yet you also need a SIM card for that. Also Telecoms companies aren’t designing message protocols anymore. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.

        iMessage can also run over e-mail.

        And RCS was designed by the GSMA which is effectively a bunch if telecommunications companies.
