WASHINGTON — He’s the Tech Veep. Vice President JD Vance successfully negotiated to have the UK to drop its demand to access Apple user data during rounds of conversations with the British government, a US official said Tuesday. The UK was originally demanding Apple provide a “back door” so the government would have access to user cloud-storage data, which would aid it in getting information about terrorism and other crimes.
