Re: FBI may have found way to unlock San Bernardino attacker's iPhone
As I said in an earlier post, what the FBI wanted was a special version of software that could be loaded on a phone and it would allow access to the data. This would basically be a Pandora's Box and potentially allow ANY iPhone to be broken. Apple did not want to do that, and so the fight started.Right2Carry wrote: Don't know otherwise.

Re: FBI may have found way to unlock San Bernardino attacker's iPhone
As is yours and the article. However, I do have come inside info on encryption and Apple's views on the iPhone as I am retired from the company that used to have exclusivity and our team was the global Tier III support and R&D side.Bitter Clinger wrote:Mere speculation I'm afraid.Keith B wrote:The Government wanted to be present and know the method for breaking the encryption on the phone, which would essentially allow other phones to be potentially broken. Apple balked at that. I believe if they had allowed Apple to break into the one phone without having to release the method or be 'overseen', then it would have been more acceptable to Apple up front. Since they didn't, then Apple has refused completely to do it.Bitter Clinger wrote:Not true Keith. Read the article. You are simply repeating Apple propaganda.Keith B wrote:The issue was not that the Government wanted the one phone unlocked, they wanted the solution to unlock ANY iPhone at their whim. Apple didn't want to provide that for them. On a case by case basis then I agree that they should do it with a warrant. For the anytime they wanted whole enchilada, then I agree with Apple on no bueno.
