That is simply not true. There are encryption algorithms that with well chosen keys are essentially unbreakable, requiring supercomputer time exceeding the age of the universe by orders of magnitude by brute force attack, and if Apple didn’t cache the key, then it’s quite secure, even from William Barr and his band of techno monkeys at the NSA. Otherwise he wouldn’t be grovelling on tv like a little girl.

I know - that’s whyI tagged it with “/sarc”. The Passcode I use with my Apple products is a LONG custom alphanumeric code. It would take longer than the 13 billion years the universe has existed for the NSA to break it. Anyone who relies on a 4 position numeric pass code is foolish, IMHO.

You’re barking at the wrong squirrel . . . House knows that. He was sarcastically responding to the quoted comment.
