The Investigatory Powers Tribunal has set plans for a seven-day public hearing in early 2026 on challenges from Apple and PI regarding a UK order that compromises iCloud's security. The Tribunal aims to base its proceedings on assumed facts, allowing more transparency. However, the UK Government's persistent denial about the order's existence complicates the situation, hindering legal analysis. The Tribunal denied WhatsApp's request to intervene, limiting the contribution of the major provider of encryption services. This legal challenge also coincides with international tensions between the UK and the US over data privacy issues involving Apple.
