Re: Th story behind Apple refusing to work with FBI

Might take them awhile to brute force the thing but eventually they would do it. What could be on there that they don't have anyhow? We know they really are recording every phone call. What they want is a backdoor into everything. Plain and simple.
Brute forcing it outside the phone would take a billion years.

Re: Th story behind Apple refusing to work with FBI

Interesting to see how Apple ( and the industry) design the next generation of products.

Apple originally thought they had a hack proof product. But the lack of Cook denying what FBI wants will work, suggests it would work and whether Apple does this or not, the phone could be compromised.

So the question is, for the next generation of phones, will Apple fix this issue so even a hack iOS will not get anyone closer to a solution?

(* There is a problem with this which I will detail below.)
It is not bout safe, it is about precedent. If Apple does this, the world knows the phone can be compromised at any time. What happens with the next terrorist and FBI wants to get into his cellphone? What about France? Germany? UK? all are investigating terrorism. What does Apple do then?

It seems to me, Apple needs to redesign the phone, so this hack will never work either.

What is interesting is in past, Cook has said "we cannot decrypt data", "there is no backdoor".

He is not denying they could make a special iOS and install it on any phone and bypass the wipe/delay features.


hmmmm
