In fact, ever since the FBI officially moved to dismiss its legal pursuit of Apple, the speculation has been pretty much non-stop about the methods used to gain access to the iPhone 5c used in the San Bernardino shooting last year. Some of the speculation focused on whether or not the method of intrusion could be used on Apple's modern iPhones that feature an internal Secure Enclave, and now, FBI Director James Comey has confirmed in an interview that his agency's method doesn't work on Touch ID-compatible iPhones. What this essentially means is that iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE and any other iOS device with Touch ID built right into it is safe from this method.
