My point is valid whether it was a one-off hack or a group of hacks. Eventually they find their way into the wild, which is what made the FBI's remarks (and the government's request) look so ridiculous. |
I still don't really find the request that ridiculous. Apple could probably have just physically flashed that one device with a new O/S and called it a day. Instead, they turned it into a brand/PR/marketing opportunity. That said, I'm not in agreement with the idea Apple should be forced to do it.
What's interesting to me though is how people are treating the phone differently than the laptop or the front door. No issues hacking a laptop to get evidence. No issues with the breaking down of a front door so long as a valid warrant is obtained. Do people think the SB shooter is an innocent victim?
If they got evidence from his Macbook, would people be ok with that? |

Looks like the FBI paid nearly a million dollars to access that iPhone.

Probably spent more than that trying to get the courts to force Apple to do it for them. |
