In a document filed in a federal court case in New York, Apple expressed some harsh words for the Justice Department. The iPhone maker argued that the mere fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was able to unlock an iPhone device without any assistance whatsoever from Apple is evidence that the feds did not need any help in the first place.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has publicly declared that right after retrieving data from a particular iPhone 5c owned by terrorist Syed Farook who is being investigated in connection with the San Bernardino attacks that happened in December of last year, it is now putting it to use, as reported by the New York Times.
With the help of a third party, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice were able to access information on a particular iPhone device owned by a terrorist in the San Bernardino attack that happened in December of last year.
You have probably already heard of what Apple officially introduced during its event held in its headquarters located in the city of Cupertino in California. The company introduced a smaller (4 inches), cheaper (starting at $399), but powerful (thanks to the A9 chip set) iPhone and a shrunken version of last year’s iPad Pro tablet device.
In response to a filing by the United States Department of Justice last week, Apple is arguing that the All Writs Act can not be applied to its case against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Hence, we created a post to provide a primer on that subject.
During a hearing session that lasted more than five hours, members of the House Judiciary Committee peppered James Comey, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as well as Bruce Sewell, General Counsel for Apple, over matters of national security and protecting the privacy of individuals. But at the end of the day, it appears that the only thing the two sides had in common was a willingness to keep the debate raging on.
Bruce Sewell is the senior vice president of Legal and Government Affairs at Apple, and the iPhone maker is sending him to the nation’s capital to speak on behalf of the company at a hearing scheduled on Tuesday, March 1st before the Senate Judiciary Committee on striking a balance between matters of national security and the privacy of individual mobile users.
