Apple has today released a new update for Apple TV 3, listed as firmware 7.2.1 (iOS 8.4.1) build 12H523. The update is available to download to Apple TVs that are connected to the internet, whether that be via ethernet or WiFi.
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.
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.

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.
It probably won't come as any surprise that Apple is still vehemently opposed to assisting the FBI in decrypting the iPhone that belonged to one of the accused in the California shooting last year. After initially being ordered by a federal judge to assist law enforcement agencies with their enquiries, the Cupertino-based company has since opted against compliance on the grounds that what it is being asked to do could have serious ongoing repercussions for all iPhone owners. Now, in an effort to shed some clarity on the situation, Tim Cook's company has published a FAQ that goes into additional detail as to why compliance is a very bad idea in this instance.
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.
