Why doesn't Apple simply write some "buggy" software that "accidentally" wipes the contents of the phone?
- ivraatiems 11y agoBecause that'd be extremely transparent and cheating the U.S. Government in a legal matter isn't going to help anyone long term. They'd just use it as more evidence that they need more control.
- idbehold 11y agoHow could they ever prove the difference between a bug and malicious intent? If they want control over the process then don't ask Apple to do it for you. Also, Apple wouldn't be able to test it well because the custom OS was written to only work on that specific phone (not the model of phone, the defendant's phone).
