  • Apple said no, so the FBI took Apple to court
  • Judge said Apple must create a tool for the FBI to brute force the iPhone
  • Only this iPhone
  • FBI Director said this order has a limited scope and only applies to this phone
  • The Justice Department has 12 phones it would like Apple to unlock (People familiar with the matter)
  • Apple has to prove that making such a tool is a undue burden on the company
  • Apple doesn’t have the tools to do this
  • This is not breaking encryption
  • Forensics hacking tools must go through certification 
  • Chain of custody must be preserved
  • The defense gets a chance to review the code
  • Cellebrite is a forensics company and could assist the FBI
  • FBI can syphon the encrypted data off the iPhone and attempt to break the code without risking the data on the iPhone
  • NSA likely has zero day exploits to open the phone
  • FBI Director James Comey has a job and is playing on peoples fears
  • Apple may be using this marketing
  • Former NSA Director Michael Hayden supports the FBI in this one case but is against universal backdoors
    • "In this specific case, I'm trending toward the government, but I've got to tell you in general I oppose the government's effort, personified by FBI Director Jim [James] Comey," Hayden explained to USA Today. "Jim would like a back door available to American law enforcement in all devices globally. And, frankly, I think on balance that actually harms American safety and security, even though it might make Jim's job a bit easier in some specific circumstances."
