"Uh, sir.. the Precedent-Setting case against Apple isn't going so well..."
"Call it off, we'll try again against Microsoft [Or Google, or Amazon, etc.] next month."

Yeah they don't want the court to set a precedent NOT to allow this sort of thing, so sensing it wasn't gonna fly now want to abandon it.

Don't have a link but I know the Paris attacks were also held up as a reason for gov't. to see into any phone.
One problem, those phones weren't actually secured at all: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/...ncryption/

Assume they lost in court then they would publicly be forced to create this code, betraying the trust of their customers, not to mention having the precedent set for all future cases. But if they were to secretly offer a solution to the FBI (perhaps posing as an unrelated third party) then the FBI would no longer need to pursue Apple in public, and both entities come out on top.

So their solution would be to give the public the idea that security can be bypassed in recent iOS's? I don't see how that's "coming out on top." |
