Now please answer this. Apple says that if they were to create such a system, that system would also be able to unlock all i-phones running that OS. Do you agree with Apple’s assertion - yes or no?
Not if they maintain control over it, obviously. But, once again, that is irrelevant. The court will decide that. I believe in the rule of law. If the two of them work out a way to catch these killers, I’m all for it. If not, then the Constituion has failed. I would not be happy to see a new court presented with a way to circumvent the Constitution, but it is up to the Aplle guys to figure it out. If you read the wording in the order, the judge says they do not need to have control over the program. If they don’t have it, the only way I can see it abused if it is done by who ever has it. The person in control over it would decide that. This is probably good marketing for Apple after the down Q4, but I don’t think they fight it. We’ll see. This is the beauty of the Constitution, don’t you think? How people respond to it?
Apple’s reasonable technical assistance may include, but is.
not limited to: providing the FBI with a signed iPhone Software file, recovery bundle, or other Software Image File (”SIF”) that can be loaded onto the SUBJECT DEVICE. The SIF will load and run from Random Access Memory (”RAM”) and will not modify the iOS on the actual phone, the user data partition or system partition on the device’s flash memory. The SIF will be coded by Apple with a unique identifier of the phone so that the SIF would only load and execute on the SUBJECT DEVICE. The SIF will be loaded via Device Firmware
Upgrade (”DFU”) mode, recovery mode, or other applicable mode
available to the FBI. Once active on the SUBJECT DEVICE, the SIF will accomplish the three functions specified in paragraph 2. The SIF will be loaded on the SUBJECT DEVICE at either a government facility, or alternatively, at an Apple facility; if the latter, Apple shall provide the government with remote access to the SUBJECT DEVICE through a computer allowing the government to conduct passcode recovery analysis.
That’s what they want!
Hahahaha. Good night.
But if they were to lose control over it, millions of the latest iphones would be compromised.
I'll take that as a tacit admission that you agree with Apple's contention that a system created to unlock this particular i-phone, would be a system that would unlock the others.
