Not so easy. Done right, which seems Apple has been doing and the owners used properly, the answer is: you can’t. Sort of a fluke, even the NSA requires acres of supercomputers running for years at best, age of the universe at worst.

Thanks for the mention.

Here’s my problem with the meme that NSA cannot get into an iPhone or similar because the encryption is so strong that even “acres of supercomputers running for years at best, age of the universe at worst.” If that were really the case as many claim, than why doesn’t the military use something similar? And if the military of this country and others use such a system why is NSA still around?

The answer is likely that the meme is not actually unbreakable, and there is some other way (secret/classified) way of breaking into these systems. No backdoor. Something else. Have no idea personally, but seems the only explanation why NSA and others like it are still in business. And no it isn’t there just to listen to your phone calls -

Yeah, but brute force - if we're just talking about iCloud, using any kind of ICANN email addy - maybe a week ... Asian-sourced 256-bit encryption - maybe a year ... they'll get it, this is all false flag bs designed to manufacture consent ...
