But you don't have to trust the FBI or today or tomorrow. The court order doesn't require the FBI have access to the modified software.
Apple doesn't have to trust the FBI at all.

- KMag 11y agoI'm not particularly concerned about FBiOS for the pre-Secure Enclave iPhones. I'm concerned about the precedent of allowing the security apparatus to demand the creation of new surveillance/investigative tools, as long as they whisper the magic word "terrorist" 3 times before asking.
- outworlder 11y agoWhat's preventing them (or other government organization) from issuing a second court order to obtain the software?
- rhino369 11y ago1) They'd still need the Apple signing key otherwise you can't update the phone. The software, without the key, is totally useless. 2) The same thing that prevents the FBI from subpoenaing Apple's key. There isn't a good legal basis for it. It's almost definitely unduly burdensome for apple to give out their key. If the FBI were to win a case like that, it doesn't matter what happens in this situation.
