Legal dispute between Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), si FBI seems to be extremely far from the end, because although the American federal agency stated that he managed to break the iPhone used by a terrorist and withdrew her request from the court to compel Apple to unlock it, she still supports the creation of a vulnerable iOS.
Considering that none of the parties give in, the representatives of Apple and the FBI will be called again in front of the representatives of the US Congress to give explanations again about the reasons why they want to either create vulnerable operating systems or protect them.
The deputy director of the FBI, Amy Hess, and the senior vice president of Apple's legal department, Bruce Sewell, will appear before the representatives of Congress, and what they will explain will probably influence many senators and congressmen to choose which side they will stand on if a law for the creation of vulnerable operating systems will be sent for voting.
Although the FBI is fighting with Apple to impose its desire for iOS to have a gateway for accessing data, unlocking the iPhone used by the terrorists did not provide them with any information that would help them in the investigation underway, or at least that's what sources inside the FBI claim.
Apple and the FBI will return to Congress next week to testify before lawmakers about their heated disagreement over law enforcement access to encrypted devices, a congressional committee announced on Thursday. Apple's general counsel, Bruce Sewell, and Amy Hess, executive assistant director for science and technology at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Having said that, the soap opera between the FBI and Apple will continue, and based on what we have seen so far, there is little chance that it will end too soon and possibly with a happy ending for the FBI.
