so is apple's position on not resetting the password on the a-hole terrorist's iPhone so the FBI can see who was helping.

You do realize what kind of precedent that would set, right?

you support privacy for mass murderers who target Americans?

Eta I'm quite sure sayed violated apple's ToS agreement when he used his phone to coordinate an attack on innocent US citizens.

Eta2 I guess imessage texts are more sacred than carrier texts since those records are routinely turned over to investigators.

That's out of context of what I was talking about

But if court ordered a warrant, Apple should comply or an arrest should be made.

But is it even possible with the way they have encrypted their phone?

I'm no Apple fanboy, but I respect their opinion on this. Glad they're digging their heals in against surveillance.

That's fine. They will have to give them up eventually.

A search warrant should suffice. They can go through everything in your house with one.

Personally, I would like to see them get permission and not reveal that we now know who their terrorist contacts were. I would like the terrorist contacts thinking we don't know who they are.

Apple products suck. I went through a whole debacle with them and iMessage. Couldnt get messages on a galaxy being a previous iphone owner because when they created iMessage, they tethered it to your phone number rather than an app or phone software.

Long story short, after doing everything they said, I was told that I would have to wait 60 days before I could be certain that all of my text messages were coming through.

The whole idea is the software as is has encryption with a passcode. They can't break into the phone, so the government wants Apple (and what would obviously become other hardware companies) to build in back doors to the OS for times like these.

That is a HUGE slippery slope if I ever saw one.

Pretty sure they fixed that issue now, I think they have a site where you can deactivate iMessage to solve those problems. I can completely understand your issues with that though.

I find it hard to believe Apple can't just tell the FBI what the pass code is.
