In recent days we learned that the FBI managed to unlock the iPhone 5C used one of the terrorists of San Bernardino, and did so without the help of Apple.
But that does not mean that they will not try Cupertino force to do their desired ‘back door’. Why?
According to a report by CNN Money, FBI Director James Comey- revealed that while buying a tool to a private company and she managed to get the phone, such software only works with the iPhone 5C .
This means that, if they want to enter another iPhone model in the future, as the 6S, could not use the same program and, if so, would have to maneuver back against Apple to force them to collaborate .
it is believed that the company that helped the FBI in this case was the Cellebrite Israeli, but that has not been confirmed.
the confrontation between Apple and the FBI sparked a whole debate about privacy and security. Should Apple collaborate with the government even if it means leaving their users exposed? Tim Cook, and virtually all the technology community in Silicon Valley, strictly believe that would be very harmful.
Apple, incidentally, not been aware of how the FBI managed to penetrate that iPhone 5C . Of course, should not expect that this information is revealed to them.
