I agree.Apple lines up an Apple expert that knows how to hack the phone and the FBI hires him as a “consultant” without admitting the complicity with Apple. FBI gets what they want while Apple commercially gets to project that the Iphone is still secure.

Are you kidding? This result makes Apple look LESS secure. Some unnamed company breaks their vaunted encryption in a week?

I'd be ashamed I put up so much caterwauling about it. Now they just look silly and ineffectual.

See my comment. No encryption standard can beat my method.

There is a silver lining in this; any company is now tacitly permitted to make/use encryption it cannot break or for which it does not posses keys. They broke iOS 8 or 9 encryption and key management. If Apple is made aware of how the phone was cracked, iOS 10 could be very difficult to crack.

First you would have to believe they actually did break into the phone. If they actually did it doesn't mean they will be able to get past the newest version of iOS.

There is no proof either way in any case there was about as much info in it as Geraldo's found in Al Capone's safe.
