“ What the company will not, and indeed CANNOT do is break iPhone's hardware and software encryption. As explained by Apple, once a device is locked, data stored within cannot be accessed without successful entry of a passcode or password. Engineers can theoretically break into a locked iPhone by writing custom software, also known as a backdoor, but doing so would set a dangerous precedent and put all customers at risk of privacy violations, Apple argues.

"We have always maintained there is no such thing as a backdoor just for the good guys. Backdoors can also be exploited by those who threaten our national security and the data security of our customers," the statement reads.”

Barr is lying again.

They don’t get it that you cannot access a modern iPhone that has Face ID enabled. Period. And Apple won’t even try. The backup, though, on iCloud is provided to authorities following a legal request.

We need privacy in America. With backdoors, nothing can stay private and no one is safe, even government officials at any level.

Attorney General William Barr, declaring last month’s naval base shooting an act of terrorism, pushed Apple to unlock the gunman’s phones.
Monday, January 13, 2020 2:23 PM EST

Mr. Barr’s appeal was an escalation of an ongoing fight between the Justice Department and Apple pitting personal privacy against public safety.

Apple has given investigators materials from the iCloud account of the gunman, Second Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a member of the Saudi air force training with the American military, who killed three sailors and wounded eight others on Dec. 6 in Pensacola, Fla. But the company has refused to help the F.B.I. open the phones themselves, which would undermine its claims that its phones are secure.
