DOJ confirms successful iPhone data extraction, withdraws encryption case against Apple [u]
No. The threat to privacy comes from the FBI because what it has been trying to do is to get the courts to permit it to do what Congress told it it could not do (see CALEA, passed in 1994). In the alternative, the effort is to force Congress to rewrite CALEA.richdatswho said:Apple could've worked with the FBI behind the scenes and no one would've been any wiser but, Apple decided not to in an effort to protecting privacy. In doing so they've actually crated a much larger and more dangerous threat to privacy. The FBI owes Apple nothing with regards to sharing how the phone was hacked and why should they? Why would the FBI say "here's exactly how we did it, now go ahead a patch that so we can have this same fight in the future" I hope everyone thanks Mr Cook for creating a much larger and unregulated threat to your privacy.
This exploit will be tightened up - you can rest assured of that.

But remember that this was a 5c and running iOS 8.mcarling said:Apple will move the delay between passcode attempts from iOS into the secure enclave of the chip. People who want an unhackable phone will have to buy a new iPhone.
If you have a complex passcode and TouchID, the FBI will be waiting a long time to brute-force it, if that is indeed what they've done. -
Why Apple's iPhone SE lacks 3D Touch technology
Having the motion co-processor "in" is MUCH more important than the fact that 3-D touch is "out". The SE looks to be a winner.

Just because. Because they're "the Government" and we're not. That's all.daven said:The whole project makes me dizzy. Under what authority do they have the right to snoop on my network usage? -
Apple's 'Liam' video sparks theories of new iPhone 6s-like model without camera bump
Nope. It does use NFC, so I understand, as Apple does. What you're thinking about is "LooPay" (or maybe "LoopPay") which uses magnetic coupling to emulate a swipe of a credit card. That's what allows Samsung phones to work in most stores. But it's obsolescent because it doesn't do the "chip" thing that's the new standard, and much more secure.battlescarred1 said:I keep getting in discussions about how Apple has fallen behind Samsung. Samsung has ... NFC that can be used in any store etc., etc.
