Apple filed a fresh legal challenge at the UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal in July 2026, contesting a new technical capability notice from the Home Office demanding backdoor access to encrypted iCloud backups belonging to British users.

Apple filed a fresh legal challenge at the UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal in July 2026, contesting a new technical capability notice from the Home Office demanding backdoor access to encrypted iCloud backups belonging to British users.

The new notice followed Britain's withdrawal of an earlier, broader order in 2025 that would have required Apple to grant access to data from both UK and US users. That original demand was dropped after interventions from the Trump administration.

A technical capability notice is issued under the UK's Investigatory Powers Act and can compel technology companies to provide security agencies access to customer data, even when that data is protected by strong encryption.

Apple withdrew its Advanced Data Protection feature from UK users in early 2025 following the original government order. The company has stated it has "never built a backdoor or master key" to any of its products or services.
