GrayKey has the hours counted, Apple is determined to eliminate it

If you are one of those who follows the news of Apple and the iPhone, you will know GaryKey box that allows unlocking of the device by connecting the USB-Ligthning portIn other words, the owner of the iPhone cannot do anything to prevent this access. This box that suffered a "hack" a few days ago has the hours numbered and it is that iOS 12 and the company itself are determined to eliminate this option.

The controversy is on the table. And there are many users who believe that Apple should allow the device to be unlocked by the authorities and there are many others who say no. It must be made clear that the company's position in this regard is clearly to close any external attack option to the system to access its content, whatever the reason.

Privacy as a flag at Apple

This is something the guys from Cupertino don't want to leave out and privacy is the most important thing to them. GrayKey, was a blemish on the company since it allowed access to a device in a relatively short space of time and they could not allow it. Now with the arrival of iOS 12 it is confirmed that Apple was working on it and to avoid it after an hour of inactivity on the device with iOS 12 connected to a USB, this it is automatically disconnected and prevents the content from being accessed.

The company comes to the step now arguing in the middle The New York Times that third-party access to iPhone data is not a good thing for the user and they explain that privacy should be total for them. This is something that can bother those who think that they should allow access to devices with iOS, but really the best thing for everyone is that this access is not allowed even though some reasons can pose a dilemma for the authorities when the iPhone it can be an important part of an investigation. Definitely Apple's position in this regard is clear and they will not change their privacy policy.
