I wonder if the FBI understands that threatening to demand the signing key is the equivalent of a nation threatening another nation with nuclear war. Just saying it has serious consequences. The other nation has no other option than to prepare for the worst. I asume Apple will now prepare for the worst and I wonder how. I think they have two options: - Consede with FBI that civilians can't have security against their respective nation, and start building some backdoor-per-jurisdiction feature that will allow states to decrypt iPhones within their jurisdiction. - Take the principled approach and decide they want to offer their customers security, even if nation states don't allow this. They can build strong blockchain / tor type encryption into the OS and hardware, behind an easy checkbox. But this will collide with government interests, they may get into problems in big markets, comparable to Google pulling back from China and WhatsApp company representative being arrested in Brazil. Apple shareholders certainly won't be happy with this approach.
