It is being reported that Apple is working extremely hard internally on building an iPhone that nobody can hack into. Attention has recently been lavished onto Apple in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting in California, with law enforcement agencies applying pressure on the company to create a new version of iOS that introduces a backdoor to bypass security. This latest report suggests that Apple is responding to the security storm by trying to build an even more secure device and ecosystem that would make it impossible to break into iPhones, even for Apple. In other words, this would effectively make FBI's current requests useless.
In an interview conducted today by ABC’s David Muir, Apple CEO Tim Cook explained his and Apple's stance in their ongoing fight with the FBI where the company is asked to create backdoor access to iPhone for the law enforcement agencies. You can watch the full interview here.
The ongoing battle between Apple and the FBI has taken a rather interesting turn, with Apple apparently looking to get Congress involved in the dispute. Apple has been provided with a legal order from the federal circuit in the United States that tells the company to work with law enforcement agencies in an effort to unlock and leverage data from an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters. Apple has thus far contested the order due to the nature of the FBI demands, which essentially want a new version of iOS to be created to provide a backdoor into the mobile platform. Now, it is being reported that Apple would like the Congress to get involved in the matter and settle the dispute.
FBI Director James Comey recently said that Apple's assistance in San Bernardino iPhone case would represent a simple one-off event, and that it wouldn't represent the opening of floodgates that would see Apple extracting data from any old device. Well, only 24 hours later, it seems that the Department of Justice doesn't exactly share the mindset, and is filing court orders across the United States now in the hope of forcing Apple to extract iPhone data in a dozen further criminal investigations.
Apple TV 4 owners now have the luxury of interacting with a number of additional apps that offer support for the platform's Siri universal search feature. Support for these new channel apps follows hot on the heels of Apple adding support for three additional apps earlier this month.
Apple's feud with the US government isn't likely to go away any time soon, and CEO Tim Cook has sought to ensure all of his employees understand the reasons behind the company's position in an email to them.
Beta 4 of OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 for Mac, watchOS 2.2 for the Apple Watch, and tvOS 9.2 for the Apple TV 4 is out and available to download right now.
What is the meaning of the "i" prefix in the iPhone and other Apple products? The "i" in iMac is famously thought to have been added because of its connection to the internet. In fact, as explained by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs himself, the prefix, which was later used with the iPod and iPhone, amongst others, may actually have had little to do with the word "internet."
Senior Apple executives have told reporters on a scheduled call that county officials within San Bernardino reset the Apple ID/iCloud password associated with the iPhone 5c that is part of the law enforcement's case. The executives also went as far as to say that if the Apple ID password had not been reset in the crucial hours after the shooting in California, then it was highly possible that the data FBI needed from the device could have been retrieved from iCloud backups after a court order without having to build any backdoor to iPhone which FBI is now demanding Apple to create.
