Craig Federighi also has his own opinion within Apple, that's why you haven't missed the chance to write an opinion piece on The Washington Post where he has argued the string of reasons why Apple is strongly opposing this request by the FBI to create back doors in iOS devices after unlocking the iPhone 5c that was used by the alleged terrorist involved in the San Bernardino attacks. It seems that we will not have a week in which we do not find two or three totally inflammatory statements between the parties involved.
This is the transcript of part of the content of the opinion article that gave light in The Washington Post:
To get rid of Apple, the FBI wants to create backdoors in the form of specific software that bypasses iOS password protection. Intentionally creating this vulnerability that allows the government to force its entry into iOS devices is not within Apple's plans. Once created, this software (which the Department of Justice has already advised that it wants to apply it to many iPhones) could become a target for hackers and criminals who would wreak havoc on the privacy and security of all of us iOS users in general.
Craig Federighi admits that they will continue the battle for privacy, taking steps forward, but never steps back. Apple changed its encryption strategy with the arrival of iOS 8, promising privacy unlike any other mobile device on the market. In the meantime, we are still awaiting final decisions on this matter, but I take the opportunity to warn everyone that not only is the privacy of US users in jeopardy if the FBI ends up getting its claws into iOS software, but in all of us iOS users in general.
