It came out in the recent trial that the FBI couldn't open Kyle Rittenhouse's iPhone, which was the latest generation at that time last year.
- dogma1138 5y agoThe FBI couldn’t mainly because they haven’t caught up to this level as it’s not their primary objective they are first and foremost and investigative outfit. The NSA not to mention the entirety of the US defense industry could’ve easily found a way to break the encryption on a single device especially since they only had to break a relatively simple password / passcode it’s just a question of how much would it cost and how long would it take.
- oh_sigh 5y agoThat might just be what the FBI wants you to think...
- cronix 5y agoOf course that is possible, but they also released their aerial infrared video of the event to the prosecution, which was not previously known.
- nexuist 5y agoWait, but Kyle Rittenhouse was still alive and participated in the trial. They couldn't just make him open it himself?
- jaywalk 5y agoFirst of all, that's kind of a sticky subject in the US due to the Fifth Amendment. Second of all, I have no idea what the parent commenter is talking about. Rittenhouse willingly turned his phone over to investigators.
