Ondrej Holzman Apple is getting more and more support from industry peers, who have announced that they will support the iPhone maker in its fight against the FBI. The government wants Apple to create a special operating system that would allow investigators to get into a locked iPhone. Apple refuses to do so, and before the court it will receive important support from large technology companies.
Yesterday, Apple provided the first official response when it sent a letter to the court in which it is asking for the iPhone jailbreak order to be lifted, because, according to him, the FBI wants to gain too much dangerous power. As the whole case heads to court, other big tech players are also planning to officially express their support for Apple.
The so-called Amicus curiae briefs, in which a person who is not a party to the dispute can voluntarily express his opinion and offer it to the court, are going to be sent by Microsoft, Google, Amazon or Facebook in the coming days, and apparently Twitter is also going to do it.
Yahoo and Box should also join, so Apple will have on its side practically all the big players from its industry, which are fundamentally affected by the protection of user privacy.
Anyone who wants to officially express their support for Apple has until March 3. Managers of the Californian giant expect significant support across the entire technology sector, which is very important in the upcoming court case with the US government. The outcome of the whole case can affect both the companies themselves and millions of their users.
I don't quite understand why the FBI is getting into such a dispute, even if it sounds a little inhumane, after all, the terrorist's finger is enough and their cell phone is unlocked and they don't have to ask anyone for help?
And should you pick your nose with that finger?
Well, the one who is the subject of the dispute was still without Touch ID, I think it is already known that touch ID can be bypassed .. I suspect it was also some video that they "printed" their fingerprint ..
Why don't you at least read something and find out before you start commenting?? Firstly, the iPhone 5C is dealt with, which of course has no Touch ID.
And secondly, orxion, where did you come up with that? That you can simply "bypass" Touch ID with a "printed" fingerprint...
Unfortunately, it was a poor terrorist with an iPhone 5. So touchID doesn't work.
On the one hand, I understand the FBI's request. But creating a backdoor is a step in the wrong direction.
