Court filings reviewed by the Financial Times reveal that the British government sought extensive access to Apple customers' private data, including bulk interception of iCloud data beyond previously acknowledged limits. Despite public statements suggesting the UK had abandoned demands for backdoor access to encrypted iPhone data, filings indicate that the government continues to press for broad, global access to Apple user data. This expanded scope of data access sought by the UK government surpasses earlier reports and involves interception capabilities on Apple's standard iCloud data storage service.
