AES 256 is hackable. I’ve watched a chinese guy do it in about 15 minutes.

The catch is the other security Apple has built in so that it cant be brute forced. Apple obviously has a way around it if they’ve done it for other investigations.

I’m glad they aren’t willing to hand over the keys to the Federal Govt. kudos to Apple

HOW!???? That's news to everybody in the security business and mathematics. The Financial sector and our government is happy using 128 bit AES encryption. Frankly, I don't believe you. Unless you prove it, you are just blowing smoke. There is simply no way that you can brute force something with that size key. It is not mathematically possible.

Your Chinese guy spoofed YOU, not 256 bit AES encryption, driftdiver.
