Hopefully it hasn't been posted and discussed ad nauseum by now. Be interesting what comes of it. Although i can see my superiors groveling back to apple. Unless they make me do it this time.

Of course they can unlock that iPhone. It's a 5C with no "Secure Enclave" and a 4-digit PIN code.

If it was an iPhone 6S with a 6-digit PIN or custom passphrase, though, they'd be completely unable to do shit.

Didn't the FBI have access to the contents of the phone initially, and then someone made a mistake a locked it? I have also read somewhere that Apple are awaiting a new patent for some encryption tool they have created which would mean even if they could build a back door key , this new software tool would stop the backdoor key from working. I will try and find the source - it was a couple of weeks ago I read it
