This is something Apple practically guaranteed by using platform DRM to turn themselves into a critical single point of failure.
CALEA was extended to ISPs once ISPS consolidated enough; now that Apple has consolidated central control of mobile devices in a similar fashion, it seems quite likely that extending CALEA to cover smart phones will be on the table.
I'd be extremely surprised if Apple's management wasn't very aware of the CALEA precedent, but they chose to go down this road anyway. I find that rather unsettling.
