Where do you stand with Apple vs. FBI regarding Iphone security?

I'm against it, only because another citizen could easily hack into my phone to retrieve info.

    The Government's need to have a Blanket approach to looking into everyone's effects for "National Security" is a must for a despotic rule.

    Forcing a wedge into the privacy without a probable cause is unconstitutional.

    IF the search was limited to Court Ordered Search would be fine. That is already established.

    The Government however want all the codes so it may have the ability to do a Search at anytime for any reason at whim.

    You are one of many that have been misled. The court order applies to one very specific phone. Also the only way the phone can be patched with the update that will turn off one setting that by default is off anyway, is for it to be physically connect to the computer that will push the patch. Nor is Apple required to give the patch to the FBI or even maintain the patch once they are done with it.

    Personally, I think Apple isn't happy with the amount of money the FBI is willing to compensate Apple. Yes, Apple is getting paid to do this.

    Apple are only resisting so they can show off how good their security is. "Buy an iPhone and you'll be so safe from hackers that not even the fbi can get in"

    It's just marketing b.s. after they got ripped into over the terrible battery life from making the phone too thin, so now they need something else to boast about.

    Stupidest thing I have ever seen or heard. Give the damn phone to a 16 year old with hacker ability and the phone is "OPEN".

    I have nothing on my phone that I care for anyone reading and that includes the person stuff.

    Are you really so naive as to think your info is safe? Really?

    Just heard a hacker expert who explained than someone driving by your house can turn on your computer cam and see and hear everything going on.

    Again kids are sitting around laugh their asssses off over this brew ha-ha.

    The U.S. government is currently the biggest bunch of liars in the world, and this administration has proven it repeatedly. The last thing I trust is them having back doors into phones.

    If that happens then you better also be open to China having back doors into your stuff also, because they will be first in line demanding all U.S. businesses build them back doors as you can bet they are watching this closely.
