FBI can't unlock anything newer than Apple's iPhone 5c, Comey reveals

But they can unlock ALL the 5Cs. Oh No! "Back Door" Armageddon! The whole Apple Screechy fit was for NOTHING!

Apple could have restricted it to only such phones as had a court order, but now the FBI can open *ALL* the 5c phones out there!

Good job Apple!!!! You just created the very situation you were screeching about!!! Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

If what the FBI says is true, it seems like they could have just done this without getting all public with Apple. So they could have gotten access to all these particular phones anyway, without Apple’s help and not broadcast their capability? The whole thing makes no sense. They didn’t realize that some other company could do this or do it this fast or what?

As I have told you before, you have a reading comprehension problem. You just proved it. Nothing in this fact released by the FBI director shows that. . . only a small subset of the iPhone production is susceptible to the device the third party supplier provided to the FBI. . . which is what Apple stated at the beginning. What the FBI was demanding from Apple was a more universal unlocking tool, but you never could comprehend that. Now you misread and miscomprehend this. This is NOT what Apple was claiming would happen if Apple were to comply with the Court Order.

By the only one who comes across as "screechy" is you.
