Apple is no different from Huawei.
Any company in Tiong Cock, whether local or foreign, is beholden to the CCPee's whims and fancies. It is there to serve the party first and foremost, not its customers. So when you hear Tim Crook talks about Apple's stand on security, it is utterly bullshit.
On another note, Huawei no longer lets you unlock its bootloader, meaning you cannot install any custom rom to patch its back door.
