But anyone that expects any software to protect your data if you lose physical control of the device needs to call me about a bridge I'd like to sell.
That is precisely the point of encryption!!! It is meant to do one thing and one thing only: protect the valuable data from anyone who is able to steal the device! Laptops and cell phones get stolen all the time and encryption helps limit the loss to the cost of the device.
What makes this instance so special (other than being able to attack Apple)?
What makes it special is that the encryption on other devices actually works. Apple is touting this as a security feature and it turns out that it actually offers no security at all.
