Snuffs99 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The point was, I think they didn't want to set a precedent Just being arse holes tbh mate, they have unlocked phones for the FBI in the past without issue which made their stance even more odd, now their "secure" system is no longer "secure" anyway it was a pointless stance by Apple. I get the FBI fucked up the phone to start and basically locked themselves out of it but given Apple has helped before there was no real reason other than being arse holes that they should have refused IMHO. Lets face it no one would have been any the wiser if they had simply done it to start, plus even if it had come out as the guy was a terrorist its doubtful anyone other than other terrorists and their supporters would have cared. I also doubt very much that Apple can not get into their own software, secure or not. Either way its done now, a 3rd party has shown how unseciure apples system is, Apple have shown their true colours as terrorist sympathisers disguised under the cloak of "protecting its customers" and i've had the oppertunit to bitcha nd moan about apple.....so all good with the world. .

Snuffs99 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Oh this just gets better. Apple are thinking of taking the FBI to court to find out how they broke into the iphone.....oh how the tables have turned and i hope the FBI etc tell Apple to go fuck themselves tbh. http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-apple-next-steps-20160330-story.html Funny as fook IMHO, FBI 1-0 Apple Wonder where all the "Apple were right to refuse" people stand on this one?

Clownfish Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 As someone who thinks Apple were right to refuse,I couldn't give two shits about them potentially taking the FBI to court or not. I never believed it was a single phone in the first place and all about gaining a backdoor to all iphones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never believed it was a single phone in the first place and all about gaining a backdoor to all iphones. I was meaning more that if apple were "right" to refuse the FBI would the FBI not be "right" to refuse Apple and their requests? or are we on double standards? its ok for apple to refuse the FBI but the FBI should give apple what they want? You think the FBI should just give Apple the details? If so why when Apple refused to help unlock a terrorists phone? seems a bit rich wanting inter agency/company co-operation now the shoe is on the other foot.

Clownfish Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The FBI found their own way in (assuming they didn't have one already of course) and that's just how it goes,it's no different to a jailbreak. They won't have wanted a long and very public court case that could set a new legal precedent if they ended up losing,hence they've dropped the case. As far as I'm concerned Apple should just suck it up and start bug hunting but we know they've got an army of lawyers to whom the notion of double standards won't exist. And Apple seem to relish the suit and countersuit court room tussles so to them this is just par for the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuffs99 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Old thread u know but isn't it ironic that after all Apples "its to protect privacy" BS they have released IOS 10 preview with an unencrypted kernel...Yes i know its only a preview but they are planning to make it easier for developers to find bugs in IOS 10 etc etc.......WTF, yeah cos thats gonna protect their customers. Apple is letting developers peer into the core of its mobile operating system for the first time - a move that could have major implications for security. Last week the tech firm released a preview version of iOS 10. Its kernel - the central component that controls how software is processed by a device's hardware - was unencrypted. More on the story here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36594705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
