EXPECTED. Many of us had LONG SUSPECTED that this so-called ‘fight’ between Apple and the US Government was really just an smokescreen for allowing the Feds to have FULL ACCESS to I-Phones. The idea, of course, was to make it appear that Apple was fighting for their customers...but they simply ‘lost’.
LOL.
“The idea, of course, was to make it appear that Apple was fighting for their customers...but they simply ‘lost’.”
Yup. I thought so too. Tim Cook is one of the biggest obama ass kissers and he’s supposed to “defend” Apple? LOL

I don’t know about that ... I think the Feds wanted an “easy” way to do this overall and used this case as leverage. They failed.
I think what they have now is a “difficult” way to hack the phone (probably something involving the hardware itself). They’ll still get what they want, but they won’t have that “easy” backdoor way that they desire.
Anything can be hacked. Literally anything. It’s merely a function of time-to-unlock and bypassing the iPhone’s data-self-destruct sequence :-). Unless you have that hardware in hand, you aren’t going to defeat any security on any of the big two’s smartphones “easily” w/o a backdoor. I hate Apple, but it’d be a tragedy if their shares lost value when this really isn’t a weakness on their end (assuming my assumptions are correct).
That is because Apple has made every possible effort to convince everyone that this was what was happening. People smart enough to read the FBI filing with the Court know that Apple was just doing a chicken little "The SKY IS FALLING!!!!" dance. Nothing in the FBI filing said what Apple was claiming.
Apple should receive the Joseph Goebbels award for excellence in propaganda this year.
