Leonardo Fabbretti has written to Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive to unblock Dama’s, his dead son’s iPhone. Leonardo, the father has begged Tim Cook to do the above so that he can retrieve his dead son’s photographs that was stored in the phone.
Architect Leonardo Fabbretti has written to Apple’s Chief Executive not to deny the memories of his dead son. He said that if the United States’ tech giants fail to unblock his son’s phone, then he would go to the Israeli mobile forensics firm who has helped the FBI to crack Syed Farook’s phone who was involved in the San Bernardino Attack that took place in December.
Dama, who was the adopted son of Leonardo Fabbretti, was adopted in the year 2007 from Ethiopia. After he met with a skiing accident, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in the year 2013. There were a number of operations and chemotherapy, but it did not succeed in curing him. It was too unfortunate that the father lost his son in the month of September when he was only 13 years of age.
Fabbretti said that he cannot give up. He had already lost his son, but he would fight for photographs and all the memories of Dama which he has left back in his cell phone. He said the above in a letter that he had sent on March 21 to Tim Cook. He begs him to unlock his son’s iPhone. He knows that is against Apple’s privacy policy, but cases like Dama does not happen very often. Looking through Fabbretti’s emotional and weak side, he pleads to let him live with his son’s leftovers.
Leonardo said that Dama was given an iPhone 6 before 9 months of being dead and he used it always. Dama had added his father’s fingerprint so that he could have access to it. However, it doesn’t work if the mobile is turned off, he told these to AFP.
