People thought that after FBI’s huge crushing victory, the battle is finally over. But this war is just starting and FBI will not rest until they gain complete control. The major difference between Bill Gate’s Windows and Apple is the nature in which they conduct business. Apple respects privacy, Windows never cared about that. All tech companies are not pro‐government and they don’t have to be, but FBI wants Apple to know who is really in control. Will Apple change their privacy policy? This question is really swirling in the minds of people. The constant pressure has put them on back foot and this tech giant is losing the mind games too.
Interestingly Apple devices are involved in many crimes and naturally FBI seeks Apple’s help. For Farook’s phone, FBI contacted some highly advanced companies and cracked into it. Another case came in no time, this time two Apple devices got involved. FBI made matters extremely complicated by throwing the question to Apple yet again. They are 1‐0 down already and if they still stand by their principles, something bad is bound to happen. Forensics companies have limited expertise and every device can’t be hacked. No one has heard about backdoors in iPod and something like that will be required very soon.
In this shocking case, two teenagers committed a murder and the electronic devices they used are being scanned. Their latest communications can contain many clues and FBI needs them fast. The court also supported FBI and the iPod maker is at the same place again. Tim Cook’s bad dream never seems to end, but this time he will give his best shot. Police needs specific details and proceeding further is becoming impossible. The phone’s version is not revealed yet, but that is not important. People or FBI, the choice is simple and Apple’s decision will influence many future events.
