This is a bunch of whooie. The government can crack an Iphone. There's a boot exploit that can't be patched by software. They want you mad at Apple. I believe in strong encryption and not giving"the government" backdoors for devices or encryption, even if it makes a few bad apples.

One day hopefully you understand. I love my president but completely disagree what he's doing here.

Strong encryption is only strong if they can’t just break into at will depending on who you are.

Opening up and handing over Stone’s info, any of it, is completely biased and corrupt if they wont do the same for known terrorists.

Edit: So in effect, you’re right, they want us mad at Apple
