- carlosdp 10y agoNot necessarily, they might not own the tool, just paid for someone to use it on the phone.
- jsprogrammer 10y agoThe subtitle quote indicates that the tool was bought outright.
- Absentinsomniac 10y agoAFAIK, the exploit only works on older iphones. It'll quickly lose value going forward.
- orky56 10y agoYou can't put a price on national security. Never mind, they just did and they got to define national security as well.
- Aelinsaar 10y agoThere is no indication that it wasn't what had been claimed they could always do, and that's physically clone NAND gates. Remember, the FBI wasn't after data in the first place, they were after a legal precedent.
