U.K., U.S. in talks to resolve Apple encryption issue, Bloomberg says

U.K. officials have been engaged in private discussions with their U.S. counterparts in an effort to resolve concerns that Britain is seeking to force Apple (AAPL) to build a backdoor into Americans’ encrypted data, Bloomberg’s Alex Wickham reports, citing people familiar with the matter. The high-level talks occurred after the tech giant removed its most advanced encrypted security feature for cloud data in the U.K. in response to a U.K. order in January, the author notes.
