In the wake of the latest news about Apple's response to unlock the iOS devices for encryption, as stated by the Federal Magistrate judge, the company will not be able to access data on a locked phone running on IOS 8 and the later versions.
While it seems to be impossible for the company to access data, it comes as no surprise for a fact that the company, since the beginning, has stuck to their word. The judge named James Orenstein have been working on the request form of whether or not Apple should support the authorities to gain access to iPhone and iPad data, as reported by MacRumors.
The reason why this is becoming next to impossible for Apple is a fact that iOS 8 has seized to store the encryption keys, hence, resulting in breakdown to amass data, even on police request. It is just not possible for the company to crack the password and store the customer's data.
In an attempt to file a brief by Apple, it has been revealed that 90 percent of the Apple iPhones and iPads run on iOS 8 and above. While it is possible for Apple to track the data for the rest of the 10 percent, it is highly impossible for them to track the data for the major chunk of their customers.
In addition, this implication levied by the Justice department would likely smudge the well-known brand of Apple. The lawyer mentioned that the trust of Apple's customers would go for a toss, as per the James Comey. The iOS 8 implemented in 2014 by Google and Apple has concerned the law.
Let's wait and watch what happens next!
