Did you read the article? Apple cannot unlock the phone or decrypt the data. What the FBI is asking Apple to do is to code a special version of the operating system that will allow them to try to brute-force the pin without it erasing the phone.

I did read the article. Apple can disable the delay and erasure features. That will likely accomplish the intended result.

Now the tool they are asking Apple to create would completely undermine the security of their product. Even if they tried to restrict it to the single phone in this case, once the tool was created, reverse-engineering it to create a tool that would work on any iPhone would be possible.

Now I can ask you if *YOU* read the article.

Again in plain English, the FBI wants Apple to create a special version of iOS that only works on the one iPhone they have recovered. This customized version of iOS (*ahem* FBiOS) will ignore passcode entry delays, will not erase the device after any number of incorrect attempts, and will allow the FBI to hook up an external device to facilitate guessing the passcode. The FBI will send Apple the recovered iPhone so that this customized version of iOS never physically leaves the Apple campus.

As far as I know, slavery is still illegal - you cannot force someone to create a new product.

If you can force Christians to bake Faggot cakes, then you can force Faggot ran companies to make their cracks available when the government wants to penetrate their software.

Don't try that slavery crap on me. I am way past the point of being sick of all the slavery I already get imposed on me by the government. I think Socialist supporting people and companies need as much "slavery" imposed on them as it takes for them to wake the F*** up and stop supporting socialist candidates as our rulers.

No Doubt Apple inc is supporting Bernie the Commie this year.

No, you have a BLOGGER who is a nobody claiming that Apple can do it. That is no evidence that Apple can do it. I suggest you turn in your screen name. Your lamp is broken. The bloggers claims are TWADDLE. He doesn't know what he is talking about. He was eviscerated in the comments on his on blog. A lot were dripping in derision, talking about other failed means as being as likely to work. SHEESH, Diogenes, you are grasping at straws in your delusional dislike of Apple.

That is the most unbelievable claim of all in this bozo's claims. Haven't you ever heard of "CHAIN OF CUSTODY" for evidence? They FBI cannot do that without breaking the chain of custody. That iPhone cannot leave law enforcement hands, ever!
