Apple is generally used to being in the news for developing and releasing extremely exciting and powerful hardware and software products. Attention over the last few months however has been laser-focused on Apple's battle with the U.S. Department of Justice over an encrypted iPhone 5c belonging to one of San Bernardino shooters.
Just when you thought the ongoing encryption battle between Apple and the FBI was coming to an end, it has been revealed that representatives of both Apple and the FBI will be returning to court next week to give testimonies to lawmakers looking to gain a more in-depth understanding of the circumstances and disagreements that led to the feud between FBI and Apple resulting in a legal battle over iOS encryption. Apple General Counsel Bruce Sewell and FBI Executive Assistant Director for Science and Technology Amy Hess will both be part of the hearing.
Law enforcement agencies under the guidance of the United States government may have gone to almost every single length possible to gain access to one of Apple's iPhones, but it looks as though that unwavering pursuit is yet to prove fruitful for the FBI. After unsuccessfully attempting to force Apple to unlock an iPhone 5c used in the San Bernardino shooting last year, the FBI allegedly enlisted the help of hackers familiar with a flaw in the iOS software to gain access to the data within. According to a new report that access has so far failed to produce any findings that are noteworthy or relevant to the case.

There's been a huge amount of conjecture and discussion around the FBI's method of accessing data on an iPhone in recent weeks. 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.
