Apple vs FBI demand to unlock iPhone
So you've all heard this by now. However it's pretty clear this isn't a tech issue, it's a political issue as the FBI actually have the back-ups from iCloud providing all the info they actually need and Apple have also provided multiple alternatives.
Anyway, here's Apple's filing to oppose the Order around that iPhone - personally I found it an interesting read, if a little dry at points. https://www.documentcloud.org/docume...xus-IS300.html

Well, it would be hard to Trump that.

I just assume that unless a phone company or telco has come out with a clear unequivocal statement of 100% support for Apple and its stand, that company has already rolled over and is backdoored up and round to the appendix.

Help your uncle out with his computer just this once, and suddenly every family member wants you to help every weekend, because you did it that once for your uncle.

The FBI is trying to achieve a legal precedent that companies (people?) can be legally compelled to do things just because the government orders it. This goes way beyond the contents of one iPhone.

That sounds like terrorist talk to me. Don't you understand that living in a free society involves allowing the government to forensically examine every aspect of your life and doing exactly what they say?
I bet you're secretly Canadian or French. |

Mmm... Sacrilicious

You wait, if Murka gets it's way and Apple bends over, Mr Bumbuddy Key will suddenly be passing laws under urgency to get the same rights in NZ.
For once I am firmly on Apple's side - go Apple go! |

I wonder what would happen if the judge found in favour of the FBI. Would Apple bend over? shut the doors and close up shop? relocate to Ireland?

Who knows. I suspect given their engineers are mostly in the US (I believe) that they'd bend over.
But they do have more money than God so anything is possible. |

As a nonlawyer, this reads to me like "The FBI had it explained to them in small words that were about to lose, and so they've decided to announce that a mysterious benefactor is going to unlock the phone for them, and they don't need Apple's help after all". |

Would be awesome if John McAfee got hold of the phone and just blasted it with a shotgun. "The files are INSIDE the phone".

Interesting read on what method the FBI is trying to use to access the phone

"Trying"?
There's no way that they don't already have everything on that particular phone. This is about precedent.

Not disagreeing with you about precedent, but if you think they already have the data then what is the reason they've delayed the hearing? To make it look like they're pursuing all leads in 'good faith?

The FBI says it can now get into the phone in question and doesn't require Apple to do anything. |

Nek minnit they will be unlocking phones remotely when you drive past a traffic stop.
