The United States compares an iPhone to lethal injection

Apple has remained firm regarding the security of iOS as of iOS 8, especially after the request by the United States Department of Justice to unlock a device that was intervened in a judicial process. Specific, Apple reported that it is totally impossible for them to unlock any device after iOS 8 that includes an unlock code, because it does not have the necessary codes for it. However, many government bodies have taken for granted, including the FBI, since they have shown their opinion about the situation, in any case against Apple's attitude and with the intention of forcing Apple to carry out these practices that would undermine the trust that users place in the company.

Now Judge James Orenstein, given to making headlines day by day, has said to ask Apple to unlock an iOS device It is similar to when the government asks a pharmaceutical company to produce the necessary drugs to make a lethal injection. In fact, it is asking Apple for direct collaboration in this matter. But make no mistake, what they really want is the creation of back doors that allow government and police services to access our devices without our permission.

The United States Department of Justice is extremely angry with Apple as it has been heeding these requests until last year, with the launch of iOS 8, when Apple decided that the security and privacy of its users goes ahead of the wishes of surveillance of the United States. So far we know, since the rest of the case is under summary secrecy, but the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the FBI are quite involved, all around an iPhone that they want to unlock.
