FBI begins 2020 with a war that he opens against those from Apple, with the support of the US attorney general, the reason being one that was also at the basis of the old scandal between the two entities. A few years ago the FBI asked Apple to unlock the phone of a terrorist who committed an attack in the US, the company refused and said it could not do this, and finally the phone was hacked by an Israeli company with exploits own.
FBI is now asking Apple to unlock two iPhones that belonged to a Saudi soldier who killed several soldiers at a military base in Florida, and those in Cupertino refuse to do so. The FBI has an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 7 owned by the former Saudi soldier, both old, both susceptible to jailbreak, but the authorities are asking for Apple's help to extract all the data from them, and the company refuses to fulfill their request.
FBI Begins New WAR with Apple over iPhones
FBI he now has an iPhone 5 which is older than the iPhone 5C from the last scandal, that phone being hacked to extract the data, so this is also more than likely very easy to hack. Even the iPhone 7 can be hacked by a company specialized in computer security, so everyone is wondering why the FBI comes with a request to Apple to provide them access to these phones, since others can do it.
FBI he can buy a device worth about 15.000 - 20.000 dollars with which he can easily break into both phones to extract the data, and more than likely he has something like this in his possession, many police inspectorates in the USA have them. The position taken by the FBI in this case is incomprehensible to many people, and this is because they all know that Apple will not unlock the phones, so all the public scandal is unnecessary, and somewhat embarrasses the federal agency.
FBI tried for years to force Apple to unlock his iDevices in various investigations, but the company did not even respect the court orders that forced it to do this, so the scandal is pointless.
