They've also significantly decreased the security of their devices with
face ID and fingerprint ID, both of which can be faked with relative
ease, the easiest way being simply manhandling a persons hand or face
into position be LEO (or other nefarious actor).

I would describe that episode as a publicity stunt cooked up by the FBI
and DoD contractor Apple.  If I recall correctly, Apple claimed it
"could not" unlock the device in question; but after public attention
started to die down, a 3rd party forensics shop did unlock it.

Meanwhile, back in the network security world, Declan Mccullagh reported:

"ATF says no law enforcement agency could unlock a defendant's iPhone,
but Apple can 'bypass the security software' if it chooses. Apple has
created a police waiting list because of high demand."

It's funny how the most 'successful' 'heroes' of the 'free market', 
companies like apple, microsoft, google, facebook and the like do not provide 
any value at all and have never ever produced a single 'innovation'. 

microsoft's 'market cap' is 70 millions? THat's 70 of DESTROYED 
value. 

I guess all those companies follow the coca-cola model. Build an empire 
selling sugary water.

I guess folks round here might read it as: Apple's focus on providing
just enough 'privacy' feels to encourage maximum product purchases,
whilst staying 'compliant' with NSA + Co.
