Somewhat related: There's currently an article on the front page of an Indianapolis TV station's web site entitled "Technology advancements lead to crack in IMPD officer evidence tampering investigation" [0]. It doesn't mention what type of phone they're talking about in this case (or go into much technical detail at all, of course) but I'm very curious just what "advancements" enable law enforcement to bypass the encryption that is, by now, enabled by default on most phones, AFAIK. I'd be even more interested if this was an iPhone, as that's what I have. This wouldn't have been iOS 11, however, as the original event (the setting of a passcode) occurred on 2015-11-02. Regardless, these "advancements" discussed in this article sound more like "regressions" to me.
