I wouldn't exclude it, it worked well. Let's not forget that they eventually still unlocked the phone with a similar tool anyway. It's only possible that these tools weren't as readily available on 2015.
- johnnyApplePRNG 5y agoReally! They unlocked it in the end?! I was only following the mainstream news headlines back then... not paying super close attention... but I failed to read that part. I assumed they were never able to access it to this very day. Along with 99% of the rest of North America who can only read so much about computer security I am sure.
