Because according to people in the know, it took the private company over two months of work to find a way to do it. There were a couple of hundred similar companies working on it. Cellebrite was just the first one to get to the checkered flag with a workable, vetted solution that would stand up to forensic standards. It's not an easy thing to do.
I find it hard to believe that they had no idea how long Apple would fight them in court vs. how long another entity would take to get this to this stuff before they pulled the trigger to go after Apple.
Hey, you know a lot more about it than me. Why take Apple to court in the first place, why have this story in the news like this at all? It is absolutely amazing that cellebwhatever did it so fast or what?
