splain it

Oh I had posted this as it happened ! 

Hmmm...this is quite a difficult topic. For one, I understand what Apple is defending. But in the first place, they shouldn't even be able to access our private tasks, conversations and all that. But we let them, we agree to all those terms and conditions they asked. I understand that opening the Apple devices breaches that privacy contract. But what about cases of crimes, rapes or all those things? Should we let the authorities open the devices of the victims and the offenders? Or should it only be internet related schemes that devices are opened? There really is a lot of questions regarding this topic.

Apple should just remove the 10 retries feature from that one particular phone. The phone only accepts like 10 retries, after which all data will be lost.

I think they can't help decrypt the phone as it sits right now. The way encryption works is you need 2 keys generated using a password - which they lost the moment they killed the guy. Without the keys, Apple can't get into the door.


But, they can remove the 10 retries feature. Beyond that, I think the FBI can get the thing cracked open with some computing power. Bothering apple for anything more would be expecting a little too much from them. They can't build the universal solution for such things.
