    Court orders Apple to assist FBI
  • A federal court ordered Apple to assist FBI and help the agency gain access to the encrypted-data on Farook's iPhone.

    FBI stated that it needed Apple to help them get the passcode to access critical and relevant data on the locked iPhone.

    Apple resists assistance to FBI
  • The US government asked Apple to help FBI unlock a San Bernardino attacker's iPhone as it is the matter of a single device.

    However, Apple refused to assist the agency to get access to the attacker's phone.

    Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, stated that if an iPhone unlocking technique is developed, hackers might use it to hack its customers' devices posing threat to their security.

  • In a contradiction to the previous reports that FBI wanted just one iPhone to be unlocked, a court document has revealed that it could extend to at least 13 devices.

    The revelation gives credence to Apple's argument that it is about more than just a single iPhone.

    The mystery has increased as 8 of the 13 devices don't have automatic data deletion facility.
