Re: And now this is the worst

It was always possible to decrypt an iPhone. People who had any chance of breaking into an iPhone were already trying to do so.

However, it is now known that Apple will not roll over at the whim of random prosecutors. If they want an iPhone decrypted, they'll have to pay a professional company to do it, instead of just ordering Apple to do it whenever they want.

I'd say Apple won this one. And what's more, I'd say we all did.
