  • DOJ confirms successful iPhone data extraction, withdraws encryption case against Apple [u]

    I suspect you could be right. From the FBI's perspective better to leave the issue unresolved than to go to court and have it resolved in a way the FBI didn't like. If Apple won it would reduce the FBI's options not just with Apple but also with other 'less principled' manufacturers.

    On the other hand, the withdrawal also creates the impression Apple's encryption might have been broken. Apple will need to at least be seen to upgrade encryption in iOS9.4 that could deal with the exploit.

    The gripping hand is the encryption war goes on forever.
    I think this is a real possibility.  If the FBI did break the encryption I get them not saying how it was done. However, I will not accept them not saying if anything was found on the phone. They made this public and that is what this was all about "supposedly". All citizens have the right to know if they found anything of value after this whole charade. 
    Who the hell are you that the FBI should tell you if they found any evidence/information? They don't answer to you or any one of us.

    Don't buy this for one second. Government knew they would lose this case. Regrouping to hit Apple again.
    How are they going to hit Apple again? Any court will tell them to use the method they used previously.

    I say this is GREAT! Let all the attention shift away from Apple to the government. Perhaps now the issue of encryption can be addressed rationally. 
    As far as how the FBI did it? Don't care, don't ask don't tell. 
    What about the concerns if they were able to do then hackers can?

    The tech media is just plain stupid and has no idea what the general population wants.

    Its hard to believe how disconnected the tech media is from reality. It seems like they write articles to impress their fellow tech media friends instead of the general public who is signing their pay checks.

    The media in other industries are not as ignorant as the tech media: entertainment media, automobile media, sports media, ect.  

    I'd say close 90% of the tech media is clueless about what normal people want from tech products.
    That's classic coming from you because you swore up and down that nobody wanted a 4" phone, and that Apple would never make another one.

    Why are they still supporting the iPad 2? It's a relic.
    Because they sold them for years.
