Apple today has officially filed a formal objection to the court order that effectively tried to force the company into assisting the FBI with unlocking an iPhone 5c that belonged to one of the San Bernardino shooters.

As the Apple vs FBI iPhone unlocking case moves forward, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and other tech companies have come together to support the company in court.
Apple has filed a motion to what it hopes will prevent it from creating "GovtOS" which will enable FBI access to an iPhone that belonged to one of the San Bernardino shooters. The motion filed claims that the court order to allow the FBI access to the aforementioned iPhone gives FBI "dangerous power" that breaches the company's constitutional First Amendment right to free speech.
