Justice stresses that San Bernardino County owns the iPhone at issue and has already given permission to unlock the phone. The now-dead terrorist who used the device also consented to the search as a condition of his employment with the county.
“The Department of Justice blasted Apple in a court document arguing the company should be forced to abide by the court’s order to help unlock a phone used by one of the San Bernardino attackers.”
The U.S. Attorney accuses Apple and others in the tech industry of trying to “alarm” the court.
