Is this an oblique reference to the San Bernardino iPhone access case?
They “both stopped” because the government paid a company to unlock the phone, not because Apple caved.

- Spooky23 4y agoI don’t think that Apple “caved” per se, but the authorities seem to have found a path to what they want, and somehow Apple hasn’t been able, willing, or motivated to close those holes. Apple also tweaked things like iMessage to make that data available in the cloud (ie available via subpoena or warrant) in most common scenarios.
