Apple's first court-ordered iPhone unlock likely dates back to 2008 case, report says
In 2008, there was no reason to unlock an iPhone. The iPhone didn't get mandatory, non-optional encryption until the iPhone 3GS in 2009.robjn said:Back in 2008 Apple had the ability to unlock phones so there was no issue.
There don't have a problem with helping law enforcement when they have the ability.
It's a whole different issue when law enforcement demands that they do hacking work for the government, work to break their own product or design and build in a security weakness to give the government a backdoor. Doing these things is unreasonable and puts everyone's security and privacy in danger. Unlocking a phone help law enforcement when you have the key is not unreasonable.
To get a complete dump of the iPhone or iPhone 3G, all you had to do was hook it up to iTunes. There was no need to enter a PIN.

Apple promises fix for Web link crashing bug in iOS 9.3 is coming 'soon' [u]
It's not a safari-related bug. It's a bug in the swcd daemon that handles link opening on iOS 9 and later. The Google search results in MobileSafari has some weird JavaScript that ends up passing clicked results to swcd, which results in a crash. That's why disabling JavaScript fixes it only for those results.macapfel said:What on Earth does another app has to do with a Safari related bug???
There are more technical details in the comment thread on Ars Technica. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2016/03/poorly-behaved-app-causing-crashes-and-link-problems-for-some-ios-9-x-users/?comments=1

Apple promises fix for Web link crashing bug in iOS 9.3 is coming 'soon' [u]
It's caused by the same booking.com update issue and is unrelated to iOS 9.3. They updated their website early last week. It was a coincidence that it was when you installed iOS 9.3.longpath said:What I am seeing is that the Open in Safari functionality doesn't work in multiple apps, causing the app trying to hand off to Safari to lock up. I only started seeing it with the final version of 9.3. I ran all of the 9.3 Betas and didn't see this issue at all. Rebooting my 5S has no effect on the issue and neither does force quitting the offending app. I first saw the issue in Instagram and thought it was an Instagram issue; but discovered that I see the same issue with Twitter and Facebook as well.

Web link bug in iOS 9.3 causes apps to crash, freeze
Every iOS update fixes security bugs in previous releases. Bugs that may be exploited to get access to your data or to install malware. Allowing easy downgrades would open you back up to fixed vulnerabilities.anantksundaram said:
What 'security reasons'? Why can't it work solely through an Apple-hosted site?Rosyna said:For security reasons, it's explicitly designed to be difficult to do.
