I don’t want my phone broken. The San Bernadino terrorists are dead. Whatever is in those phones is probably not worth very much. What do they expect to find that isn’t in ATT or Verizon network? Doesn’t NSA have all the metadata? Isn’t that why they wanted all the metadata? They should hack the phones their own damn selves. There are lots of qualified hackers out there. Pull out the memory chips and read them.
What type of memory chip are they?
It's not like the data is etched in the chip?
