The prior “70 times” was before iOS ver. 8...after ver. 8 all data on an iPhone is encrypted with 256 bit AES...even Apple cannot get the data without the password. The FBI is asking Apple to write software to disable built-in “brute-force” password hacking protections so they can attempt to get the terrorists’ password thru “brute-force” super-computer methods (thousands & thousands of guesses).

I commented on the “70 times” thread here:

Thanks for the info.

I am not an Iphone guy and was not aware of this info.

Is the phone in question one with this security?

Thanks
