I actually agree with you. Apple should just make it it so that Apple CAN NOT do anything. > If Apple had the phone's PIN stored in their database, do you thin

I actually agree with you. Apple should just make it it so that Apple CAN NOT do anything. > If Apple had the phone's PIN stored in their database, do you think the government should be able to compel them to hand it over? And why is that any different? Well, I think, they should not, but I don't claim its different. Apple wants to have it both ways, build it so that they have full control and they can be compelled by nobody to give up that control. I would rather they build a system, where nobody is in control at all.
