> I think even the token IT guy is wondering how the FBI's request to break specific iPhones in their possession is going to undermine iPhone security for everybody. Could you elaborate on how the precedent of signing a custom IOS release for a specific target IPhone is distinctly different and cannot be interpolated to further and broader requests? For example a request for custom IOS version which the FBI can install on other target phones themselves? The other point to consider is that if the US government can compel companies to create and sign custom binaries there are other governments (China) that I'm sure would love to play at the same game. From a security standpoint it would be best for everyone if what the FBI is currently asking was entirely impossible in the first place.
