iCloud Backup is a backdoor in the iMessage e2e, and Apple can decrypt all the iMessages. No warrant is required for Apple to do so.

Even with iCloud off, the other endpoint (the phones you're iMessaging with) will be leaking your conversations to Apple because they will still have iCloud Backup defaulted to on.

iMessage is no longer an e2e messenger, and Apple intentionally preserves this backdoor for the FBI and IC.

They access 30,000+ users' data per year without warrants.
