I assume Apple already knows the hack/vulnerability. Apple should announce they know it, fix it, and give the FBI a big F-U.

- unlinker 11y agoWhat makes you assume that?
- mhurron 11y agoWhy would you assume that?
- lostgame 11y agoUh...this is probably a hardware flaw. Without recalling all iPhones prior to the Secure Enclave, I'm not exactly sure how they would 'fix it'.
- yuzi 11y agoIt's more likely that Apple did the work for them and they are both hiding it.
- Rantenki 11y agoThere is no reason to assume that apple is either aware of the bug, or that they assisted the FBI in breaking the phone. It is not only common, but NORMAL for hackers to have unknown exploits before the vendor is aware of them. Where do you think 0-days come from? In fact, there is an annual competition to break these devices with previously unknown attacks at CanSecWest.

- Someone 11y agoHow would Apple know that _a_ vulnerability they know of is _the_ vulnerability that the FBI used, and that the FBI does not want to talk about, other than that it gave it access to one iPhone 5?
