FBI Won’t Be Able To Hack Into iPhones For Much Longer, Say Apple Engineers

I am relieved that Apple has been standing their ground on this topic. As an Apple user, I appreciate that they are working towards correcting the security flaw that made it possible for the third party to unlock the phone. It would appear that they are looking at it from not only a justice perspective, but also as a risk of devices being hacked by other sources. I find it interesting that the article states that the FBI is likely to carry on unlocking handsets while it can. They've offered to unlock an iPhone to investigate a murder case. Typically, crime solving efforts are not cast in a criminalized setting, but this obstruction of privacy has everyone concerned. That's good. I look forward to seeing how this continues.
