I have concluded they want you to be jb your device, that way you will buy the device. Then they uodate the firmware so you cant . Clearly profit motive

I guess the issue will end up going to the Supreme Court. I sympathize with Apple but I do not see that it trumps national security. I don't think I believe apple that giving up info on this ONE phone will jeopardize all iphones. I am sure Apple is smart enough to figure out a way to get into this one phone privately. If these phones were so privately why do I keep getting calls and emails from all kinds of places and people whom I don't know and have no desire to hear from. I got a note from Yahoo that my phone had been tempted to be entered by someone in IRAN! and also MEXICO. Probably just spam, but even so why should they get into my emails at all? If the phone in question points to more terrorist or terrorist attacks then Apple could be encouraging such attacks. I think this could all be done quietly and secretly which Apple chose not to do.

They should arrest the Board of Directors for contempt of court and throw them in jail, that should start things rolling!

"We the people..." I refuse to allow the US government to shit on our civil liberties while using fear as a smokescreen.

Dude, stick to your cheap plastic, malware/spyware carrying phone. Quality includes security and privacy.
