Apple

[Andy C]

What's yalls thoughts??
I see it both ways.
But having never owned or planning on owning an Apple product, don't really care just wanted to here other opinions.

It's not just about one phone, it's about giving Apple the tools they need to hack into millions of phones. I agree with Apple.

I think they should take McAfee up on his offer to do it for free: it saves the taxpayers money, preserves Apple's freedom, and gets the government out of the bad press of forcing Apple to do this. Assuming McAfee can deliver, everyone wins.

Apple.

I hate to admit it but I have reached the point that if the government is for it I am against it. Apple!!

Completely agree

[mriguy]

Apple, no doubt

[PaulMyers]

Slippery slope! The government has plenty of hackers. Let them do it.

I like that Apple is putting customers privacy first. They are right that a known back door into their phones would be abused.

Look at it this way. The government has very few jobs they are suppose to do and one is to protect us from foreign threats. This guy worked for the government and they had access to the app that allows them to unlock the phone but they weren't using it. They basically failed at one of their primary jobs. They are now trying to make Apple break into the phone due to their failures.

If this would have been a private company that didn't install the app, they would be hauled in front of Congress and fined or imprisoned. The government needs to be held accountable but we know that won't happen.

From dealing with phones daily, apple already has the ability to get in any phone they want with or without anyones permission

I'd say in the case to solve murders, national security, terrorist threats, and national security.. Unlock the F ing phone. How would U all feel if any of the murdered peps where ur family.. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback when "U have no skin in the game"..

Outside of those circumstances.... "Don't pass go ... Don't collect $200"..

Are you sure about that? The iCloud backup they can, but an iPhone with a passcode is supposed to be encrypted.

From what I understand the info the police were wanting could have been accessed on an iCloud backup, but someone changed the iCloud password when they shouldn't have.

This isn't about Apple unlocking the phone. This is about a backdrop being built into the phone that would bypass any security features the phone has. If we knew for a fact this would be only accessible by law enforcement under certain situations more of us would be in favor of it, but most likely it would be abused but the government and hackers would find a way to use it to get into our phones too.
