Why Apple Is Right to Challenge an Order to Help the F.B.I
Couple of thoughts:<p>- Doesn't an iPhone become completely secure if you prevent if from passively polling for OS updates. If the iPhone would only poll and install updates after user un-locks and allows, then there would be no way change the necessary software configuration without breaking the encryption. And the encryption can't be broken, thus if you could chose OS -level default  "don't accept or even check for any updates without user permnission" you really would have an unbreakable device. 
But if they ever did implement this, it would be terrible for Apple's forced upgrades and their platform would fragment into many incompatible versions. I think everyone knows which option Apple will chose between: CompletelySecurePhoneOS or AbilityToForceUpgradesAndPatches.<p>- Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Tim Cook initially state cracking this phone was impossible according to Apple's experts? And now it seems it's a quite reasonable issue of Apple signing an OS-update specific to this device's unique ID; so quite feasible. So was that a lie?
