The FBI got data from a locked iPhone 11 Pro Max. Senator Wyden’s office told Forbes it has asked the Department of Justice to explain why it is making public demands for backdoors if it has already used the tool to access the newest iPhones
it has asked the Department of Justice to explain why it is making public demands for backdoors if it has already used the tool to access the newest iPhones.
Nicholas Weaver, researcher and lecturer at Berkely's International Computer Science Institute, said that even before the indications that GrayKey would work on the latest iPhones, the FBI's attempts to strongarm Apple into helping amounted to"theatre." He said that Apple had designed its phones so that it wouldn’t be able to provide information if a GrayKey or a competing product couldn’t."Basically, Apple made a safe where to change the combo you have to unlock the safe, and the FBI is saying 'change the combo' when they know full well you can't change the combo without unlocking the safe first.
Apple, which has long had a policy of not unlocking phones for police, said it has handed over iCloud data relevant to the case. It didn’t comment on the FBI’s use of GrayKey. .
