> Specifically, the FBI wants us to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation. In the wrong hands, this software — which does not exist today — would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone’s physical possession. The scary part here is that the iPhone data is really not that secure. If apple can overwrite the OS and get access to the data, this means the keys are stored on the phone somewhere, and not password protected, or "fingerprint" protected.
