Doesn't this create a kind of precident for future requests to unlock iPhones on a newer OS? If the FBI/US Gov go to court saying they require Apples assistance

Doesn't this create a kind of precident for future requests to unlock iPhones on a newer OS? If the FBI/US Gov go to court saying they require Apples assistance - can't Apple turn around and basically say "this is what you said last time - and you worked it out - so we are sure you'll work it out again without our help"?
- sjwright 11y agoIt certainly creates a precedent in the court of public opinion. Somehow I doubt the FBI are going to try this tactic again.
- viraptor 11y ago> for future requests to unlock iPhones on a newer OS It won't work on newer phones. The whole discussion is possible right now mainly because it's an iPhone 5c without a secure enclave. With (I believe) 6 and up the protection checking lives inside of an equivalent of PC's TPM. You can tell it "here's data and key, decode it" or "validate these bytes", but not "give me the internal key" - it doesn't support this on hardware level. (apologies to anyone annoyed at the simplification)
