A telecommunications carrier shall not be responsible for decrypting, or ensuring the government's ability to decrypt, any communication encrypted by a subscriber or customer, unless the encryption was provided by the carrier and the carrier possesses the information necessary to decrypt the communication.
Apple seems protected under this clause, since they do not possess the information necessary to decrypt. This is also why the feds can't wiretap iMessage.
