Apple has famously been ordered by a court to contribute far more to help the FBI with unlocking your iPhone into one of the terrorists attack in San Bernandino, California, happened before Christmas. But Apple has no plans to comply with the court order.
In an open letter to customers writes Apple CEO Tim Cook including the FBI enough use other words, but it ultimately is a backdoor.
According to Cook wants FBI that Apple makes a new version of iOS, where a number of important security features examined and then install this on mobile which has been seized in connection with the investigation.

– In the wrong hands this software, which does not exist today, have the potential to unlock any iPhone that is in any physical possession, writes Cook.
– to build a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way, will certainly create a backdoor. Although the authorities argue that it would be used only in this case, there is no way to guarantee such control.
Apple writes that it does not oppose the order is not something the company takes lightly. Cook wrote that Apple has already helped the FBI on several levels during the investigation, but said that the company now must stand up against the government, which, according to Cook now going too far.
– Although we believe that the FBI’s intentions are good , it would be wrong for government to force us to build a backdoor into our products. Ultimately, we fear that this requirement would undermine the entire freedom that our government is supposed to protect, says Cook.
