Apple will have its Snowden.
That's not a given. Everyone believes that Windows has backdoors and spying components in it but we've not seen a single Snowden from Microsoft. Why would we from Apple, an even more secretive company than Microsoft?
Or, just playing devils' advocate, perhaps we haven't seen any Snowdens from Microsoft because there's nothing to be leaked? Perhaps, instead of demanding cooperation from vendors and risking getting caught, the government focuses on building the capability to exploit bugs and opsec failures on the part of their targets.
