In a statement posted on its website, the tech giant called on the US government to create a panel on encryption and data privacy issues.
Apple added it would gladly take part on that effort.
The tech giant has been opposing a court order to help the FBI unlock the iPhone used by one of the shooters in the San Bernardino terror attack.
The company wants that demand withdrawn, saying it sets a dangerous precedent that threatens civil liberties and makes the data on all other iPhones vulnerable to hacks and cyberattacks.
Still, Apple's stand does not sit well with the families of the San Bernardino attack victims as they intend to file court papers to support government's position.
