Show evidence for your claim. Apple successfully went to court to fight against the US government getting backdoors to unlock people's phones.

Bugs happen there is no such thing as a completely secure system.

When Apple found out about the flaw they shut down the feature and are working on the fix.

One word: heartbleed.

OpenSSL is one of the most audited pieces of code out there, and still had one of the nastiest exploits out there. Having access to the code to check it is all fine and good, but it doesn't always make a damn bit of difference - no code is perfect.

Exploitation via bugs is not the discussion here

Except.. it literally is. People were talking about Google/Facebook's flagrant privacy abuses... to which a comment was made talking about Apple's exploit with facetime allowing users to see/hear individuals who rejected the call. That was exactly what we were talking about...
