I wonder if they really cracked it, or if that was a face saving lie (?)
Sort of like classic soviet era propaganda,; "Ve had hydrogen bomb first"
We'll never know, but they sure are tight lipped on details!
...I aint buyin' it!

Of course they didn't.
Only clumsy n00bs drop iPhones to the pavement and crack them open .....

All signs seem to indicate that they used a hardware weakness that was addressed 2 generations ago.
Maybe people aren't buying the latest and greatest just bc it's shiny and new.

The only reason I'm buying a new one is that the old one doesn't work worth a sh!t.
That's logical, isn't it? Oh, and I also know how to use it, sort of.

The FBI cracking the phone? Actually, that's on route, imo. Crack away. Forcing Apple to do it for them? No.
Apple will double down on the crypto technology in some forthcoming product release and sooner or later this lawsuit will be resumed.
Sneak peak into what's coming... Good eye.

If the FBI admitted to out-sourcing the iPhone to a local high school I might find their claim more credible. In-house? No way.

If you honestly think the nsa couldn't break this phone you are delusional. It was all about getting the public to support this request for "security".
Therefore making it commonplace for the average citizen that the govenment can and will hack phones and to make this information illegally obtained admissible in court.

Apple now says that the usual thing is for hackers to tell them how the iPhone was hacked, so that they can fix the flaw.
Yeah, right.
Apple flips the FBI the bird, and now Apple wants the FBI to get cozy with them.
It doesn't matter what the FBI says. The company, Cellubrite is based in Israel and is owned by a Japanese corporation.
For $15,000, Cellubrite opened the San Bernardino phone.
How much will they charge the Chinese government to open up a dissident's phone?
How much will they charge Apple for the secret to how they did it?
Israeli Cellubrite said to have opened iPhone for the FBI
FBI paid $15,000 to access iPhone
Cellubrite stock has risen dramatically, in the past week or so, since it first became known that the company was involved in defeating the iPhone's security system.
Aftermarket encryption programs already exist that render Cellubrite's method obsolete.
The San Berdoo Doofus was too stoopid to use additional encryption.
Oh, wait. Maybe the FBI now has access to a secondarily encrypted massive database, listing all the members and plots of ISIS, Al Queda and the rest of the world's terrorists.
But, they can't read it.
Maybe the San Berdoofus wasn't so stoopid, after all.

I don't think the FBI thing had anything to do with national security,. In this Trump era we live in a time of Base Instinct Agrandizement. They, the FBI, wanted to play along and be the biggest dicks on the block. When apple refused them, and they had no legel basis to pursue this further, they declared themselves the winner (& whiner) took their ball and went Home. The beauty of this plan is that neither they, nor the company that did the alleged hack, can ever be forced to prove they did so. Or did anything at all.

The israeli that did the hack job sold his skills far to cheap.
Once General Dynamics had a guidance control problem and hired my bother. His cost: More than 1 year of his college faculty salary for a short amount of work.

I agree with DMT about privacy.
The truth is there is no secure device. It's like a bike lock. Someone can always come with the bolt cutters or angle grinder and kill that lock.
If they want your data they will get it, so I find the best policy is to act accordingly. Assume everything on anything operated by 1's and 0's is accessible.

Jaybro,
I know you are sometimes unemployed and have tried narrative writing but you have potential as a Conspiracy Theorist Writer. It seems the repubs always need something like a Conspiracy Theory to jolt rational thinking and to keep the Demos looking better than they pan out.
Apple is Crapple: they lied to you. Enjoy your bloody A hole. Bend over we serve grease with the fool proof phone --soon coming out.
