Re: Why is it not a good outcome for Apple?
But the final outcome is good news for Apple and all other technical companies. One of the main arguments the FBI put forward was that 'Apple had the "exclusive technical means" to unlock Farook's phone.' But it has now been proved that Apple didn't have this exclusivity. The Feds stance on forcing a company to comply has been weakened considerably.
In any future case Apple, or any other company, can point to this precedent and tell the FBI (or whoever,) to use those means / methods again.
