One of the FBI’s Major Claims in the iPhone Case Is Fraudulent
I wonder if the FBI has checked for any ways to circumvent the passcode screen using software bugs.<p>Edit: Not sure why I got downvoted. I can currently circumvent my keyboard passcode with a number of steps, and I'm on iOS 9. Steps to try for yourself:<p>Edit: Ok I've been tricked. The steps below are unnecessary as the first step actually unlocks your iPhone in the background. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The fact remains though that these bugs have existed in the past and may exist on the device the FBI wants to unlock.<p>1. Invoke Siri, "what time is it?"<p>2. Press the time/clock that is shown<p>3. Tap the + icon.<p>4. Type some arbitrarily long string into the search box. Highlight that text and copy it.<p>5. Tap on the search box. There should be a share option if your device is capable. Tap the share option.<p>6. Share to messages.<p>7. Press the home button.<p>Congrats, you're more effective than the FBI.
