This wake up call is good to help them see they do not yet have it figured out.

On what are you basing this? They have always advertised they have the safest ecosystem. It says on their website they've been protecting people's data for over a decade.

Whether or not it's true, that is what they've been saying for a long time. Why the spin?

Go read docs on earlier iPhones and you will see they never made this claim. Heck it took several versions of iOS before they even added a lock screen

I don't need to. I showed you what they say on their website.

Yes That is current policy. I was referring to prior policy before CE, SE, or pass codes. Those older phones were easily hacked.

So they are lying about the over a decade part?

I'd say it is very good for Apple, and the consumer.

They have thought their stuff was secure, and now they know it is not. Time to go back to work. Without this case, who knows how long it would have been till they realized it was not as secure as they thought.

I don't see it as such a big positive for them, especially since they are now begging the FBI to clue them in to how they got it done. They've spent a lot of capital marketing how secure their phones are and now they find out they aren't and don't know where the vulnerability is. Not a positive turn of events from my perspective.

Apologies accepted!

For weeks, the FBI had said only Apple could help investigators lift the iPhone security features that stood in the way of its guessing the passcode.
