The FBI agents/techs handling the Pensacola iPhones are clearly idiots.

[jospehm20]

No, I don’t think so. I think they want Apple to help them easily spy on people and the is their latest excuse. Screw the FBI.

[monkeyshine]

They are either idiots, don’t want to find out what’s on the phone, or don’t want the information they believe to be on the phone to get out.

[PanzerKardinal]

But when China wants the Apple’s source code so they can use iPhone to spy on people,

.......Apple happily bends over, grabs its ankles and loudly proclaim, “YES SIR!”

It could also be misdirection by Trump. Let the jihadis who were in contact with the shooter think they are safe.

[CodeToad]

Regardless of this case’s facts, I HATE the FBI. Screw ‘em.

[buffaloguy]

Anyone who thinks the NSA can't get into an Iphone in under 30 secs is an idiot.

They are the best of the best. Once or twice a year they start a narrative about how they can't get in and bad guys go get Iphones and do their nefarious business.

[Blood of Tyrants]

And the government PROMISES not to abuse the built-in back door. You can probably hear my eyes roll.

[richardtavor]

It might be that they couldn’t use the info in court if it was gathered by a bootleg software.

[MV=PY]

What if they already cracked the phone and are trolling Apple?

[PrairieLady2]

All it takes to break into an iphone, or any other phone is a good hacking program. All it takes is a phone number or even a fb account. There are many ways to access the phone’s emei
number or what kind of phone it is. Lots of ways hackers do this. And no, they don’t need your password to get in. How they do it, i don’t know. All I know is I’ve seen brand new phonws broken into within 30 minutes of brand new purchase.

And if there is a circle bot thing going on...a person’s life can be tormented horribly.

Hillary couldn’t let it ago and neither could Warren. I don’t know if a woman can win but I think we have some pretty good evidence for the fact that they shouldn’t win.

[Rio]

I do appreciate your input on these threads...

[\/\/ayne]

They are going after Apple for some reason.

[Secret Agent Man]

Its about setting a precedent. Something they can then demand as a routine request. Also they will go to court and state the company did it in the past, so they should now or otherwise they are now obstructing an investigation by refusing to cooperate as they did prior.

[ctdonath2]

There are a LOT of factors affecting whether “Apple can unlock it”.
Few here have a clue what those are, and which actually apply.

Apple is good about doing what they can to unlock, and doing what’s possible to minimize what can be breached.

Well they are the FBI and the first word is Federal.

Known for creating evidence, shooting unarmed women holding babies and killing children in their sleep.

[momincombatboots]

It’s sounding more like a marketing collaboration with our dirty fbi. Gotta keep that opiate for the masses flowing.

[Swordmaker]

Further emphasizing that point, a new report from Forbes says that the FBI recently used one of those black/gray market tools to unlock the newest — and theoretically the most secure — iPhone that Apple sells.

GreyKey itself does not tout that capability themselves. They advertise the ability only to unlock devices running iOS 12 , as does Cellebrite. Forbes has not been a bastion of factual news about Apple for some time. If what they were claiming were true, there’d be obviously no necessity to involve Apple in unlocking anything. As for the two from the latest case, there is doubt only about the iPhone 7. It may have iOS 13 on it. —PING!
