http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/24/technology/justice-department-wants-apple-to-unlock-nine-more-iphones.html?_r=0

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is demanding Apple’s help in unlocking at least nine iPhones nationwide in addition to the phone used by one of the San Bernardino, Calif., attackers.

The disclosure appears to buttress the company’s concerns that the dispute could pose a threat to encryption safeguards that goes well beyond the single California case.

Apple is fighting the government’s demands in at least seven of the other nine cases, Marc J. Zwillinger, a lawyer for the company, said in a letter unsealed in federal court on Tuesday.

...

At a news conference last week after the debate erupted in California, the New York City police commissioner, William J. Bratton, and the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., said they had collected about 175 iPhones, in investigations, that they have been unable to unlock.

Mr. Vance rejected the notion that Apple should be forced to cooperate only in certain prominent crimes.

I had over 200 phones, and all were stolen. We figured out who the other 200 belonged to, but the last 200 were locked. All I wanted them to do was determine the serial number and let APPLE contact the owners. They refused to even assist.

So, 200 people's phones are in an impound box waiting to be auctioned or destroyed.

"If Apple doesn't do it, then the terrorists will also win. iPhones also can hold child pornography; you don't endorse pedophilia do you? iPhones could also hold sensitive drug dealer information; do you want your kids dropping out of kindergarten to honk on a crackpipe in some alley? If you don't stand with the DOJ, then you are standing with the terrorists, pedophiles, and drug dealers."

They weren't going to give me anything. They would contact the owners and let them know to contact me about recovering their phone. I would have zero contact until the owner contacted me.

Once Apple starts unlocking phones for any reason, the government (at any level) will want them to unlock phones for every reason.

That's why it is so important that Apple tells the FBI to FOAD.

Fappening happened because people set up their phone to store all their shit in the cloud.  Simple solution is to just not do that.  None of my shit is stored in iCloud.

If Apple hands over the keys and backdoor retro-fit kits, which they were literally forced to engineer at gunpoint, then yes. You could expect the backdoor and keys to get leaked.

I thought the plan was to generate a new version of FW that does not include the pin code penalty timer and data wipe and also allows for code entry via USB serial. With that they can connect it to a computer and brute force it.

As much as I would like to know what is in the phone, the cost is not worth it. Get the info from the NSA.

Once they have the precedent that they can force software companies to write malware on demand, what's to prevent them from mandating that the cracked OS, with whatever payload the government desires, be secretly distributed via automatic updates to ALL devices?

Hint:  Answer starts with 'n' and ends with 'othing.'

Not just Google, Microsoft, and Apple, either.  Any company that distributes code (such as, say, auto makers) can, and probably will be, compelled to do the same thing.

Apple needs to start selectively backdooring the iPhones of any legislators or prosecutors that support this, until they get the message and the dogs are called off.
