After withdrawing the court order asking Apple to break the iPhone of the terrorist of San Bernardino για το FBI όταν σήμερα το πρωί οι Ομοσπονδιακοί ανακοίνωσαν ότι κατάφεραν να το ξεκλειδώσουν, η company issued a statement, which reads:
_________________________________________
"From the beginning, we had objections when the FBI asked Apple to create a backdoor on the iPhone because we thought it was wrong and would set a dangerous precedent. As a result of the government's resignation, none of this happened. This case should never exist.
We will continue to help law enforcement authorities in their investigations, as we have done from time to time, and we will continue to increase the safety of our products as threats and attacks on our data become more frequent and more sophisticated.
Apple deeply believes that people in the United States and around the world deserve their data protection, security and privacy. By sacrificing one for the other, we endanger people all over the world.
This case raises issues that deserve a national debate on our civil liberties, our collective security and the protection of our privacy. Apple remains committed to this debate. "

The company's announcement essentially repeats what it said from the beginning about this case, but what is interesting is the company's promise to make its products even safer.
As some experts have pointed out, if the FBI can crack an iPhone, it's likely that others can too. At this point, it seems that Apple has no choice but to look at all the ways that a device, as the Feds seem unwilling to disclose the security loophole.
The question is, what happens the next time an attack takes place and the terrorists use an iPhone?
Apple does not seem to be legally committed to helping the government, and it is very likely that we will see a repeat of the episode sometime in the future.
