Do you have a source on what they provide the NSA? According to their privacy policy they don’t access customer data unless they receive a warrant requesting iCloud data, and they have no access to data on the phone itself or what is transmitted.
The source code is proprietary. They’ll never release it. If Snowden has proof, then where is that?
Since both claims are unprovable, let’s look at the evidence and motive.
You believe that Apple would spend all of that money fighting the FBI in court, just so they could give the NSA a backdoor that is in direct violation of their privacy policy, potentially exposing them to a massive class action suit from users, and does not benefit them in any financially tangible way.
They didn’t do anything “with Apple”. The NSA added splitters to fiber optic lines to steal information. Apple never collaborated with the NSA, nor gave them information willingly.

I don’t put faith in everything Snowden says without explanation. Do you have a link with a detailed explanation of how this backdoor works?
Apple discloses warrant compliance on their legal site.

So I’m guessing you don’t have a source for me?
I have one for you. It’s the history of legal battles between Apple and the FBI.
