Apple already has a backdoor in iOS

Apple’s fight with the US government would not have happened if the shooter, whose phone coppers want to have a look at, had upgraded his iPhone like a good fanboy.

The fruity cargo cult and its allies in the Tame Apple Press have been playing the “privacy card” in the police investigation of San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik. The court has ordered Apple to help police break into the couple’s Iphone 5C and Apple claims that is “too dangerous” for privacy.

Like many things Apple related the whole thing is spin and media manipulation. In fact the whole event would not have happened had Farook upgraded his iPhone 5C to a modern version of the phone with a fingerprint scanner. That is because the cops could have used the dead man’s fingerprints to unlock the phone.

This means that if the issue is about privacy, then Apple broke it when it insisted on fingerprint scanners on all its latest models.
