iOS 9.3 is going to bring a new security measure for users around the world who use iCloud to back up their iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches, the operating system encrypting the data based on the access code set by the users for the terminals.
Practically, starting with iOS 9.3 every iCloud backup made for iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch can be accessed by the user only with the Apple ID password, but also the access code set on that terminal, and if the user forgets the code, he will no longer be able to access the data and Apple will no longer be able to help him.
The new security measure was implemented by the Apple company starting with iOS 9.3 and it comes as a response to the FBI's attempts to force it to provide an access port in iOS for user data, the change also preventing Apple from accessing the data.
Practically, Apple will no longer be able to decrypt iCloud backups of iDevices that have a passcode set in iOS 9.3, and that's because she will not know the access codes set by users and in their absence Apple will not have access to a key to decrypt the information.
In the image above you can see how the system works iOS 9.3, users being asked for the access code used in an iDevice to be able to install a backup in a terminal, those from Apple saying very clearly that they cannot access the data without it.
With this new security measure implemented in iOS 9.3, the Apple company will reject any kind of request to provide data from iDevice users, even if they come from the courts, the reason being that it no longer has access to the information.
This change is a very big slap to the US government, Apple is now protected from all points of view. The implementation of the measure is not accidental because tomorrow there will be a new appearance in the process in which a court has already forced Apple to help the FBI, with the lawyers going to argue their cases again.
