And while many seem to agree that this would be at least a partial solution to Apple’s problems, Morgan Stanley isn’t that convinced.

Specifically, it wanted a way to see personal data protected by Apple’s introduction of Advanced Data Protection (ADP), which extended end-to-end encryption to almost all iCloud data, meaning not even the iPhone maker could access it.
