Considering some of the other revelations about the workings of FISA, how do you know that Apple has not been given a request for "all current and future information about all users", and decided that it is "appropriate" and that given the order, the "narrowest possible set" of information is all of it? (while they do indicate the number of requests, users and devices affected by data handed over to law enforcement, the use of that term itself is curious - it's not law enforcement the noise has been over, but intelligence agencies, and particularly NSA)

It may very well be that they have not had to deal with any broad requests from intelligence agencies, but the statement most certainly does not preclude it.
