Apple ordered to aid FBI in unlocking California shooter’s phone

Apple must provide “reasonable technical assistance” to investigators seeking to unlock the data on an iPhone 5C that had been owned by Syed Rizwan Farook, Judge Sheri Pym of U.S. District Court in Los Angeles said in a ruling.

Apple has said they can’t unlock iPhones running iOS 8 or later—the shooter’s phone was running iOS 9. I’m not sure what’s going to happen here, but clearly the government doesn’t believe Apple can’t break into the phone.

  1. Isn’t the disput not about helping break his phone the FBI wants Apple to write a iOS code with back door for ALL iOS phones! That is where Apple is drawing a line!
