In court, Apple said they could not access certain iPhone blocked

Apple again complicates its relationship with justice. In the US, a judge asked, as part of an investigation, to have access to a brand smartphone, in order to consult the information it contained. If Apple expressed able to do so from a strictly technical point of view on the old terminals, the situation would be quite different for newer products and services. Apple states that it it is not possible to view or extract the customer data when operated smartphones iOS 8 and 9. If the machine is blocked, it would not be possible for the group to do skip the password to remove the encrypted data belonging to users. The precise mark in passing that almost 90% of the outstanding work on iOS devices currently 8 or newer. What make more complicated the task of potential investigators. Apple, however, leaves the door open to the authorities stating with Reuters that forcing "Apple extracting data in this case, no clear order of a legal authority, can lead to endanger the trust established between Apple and its customers and even damage our brand image "."
