Couldn&#x27;t Apple give the data of the terrorist&#x27;s phone without creating a backdoor? I.e. making it an exceptional case rather than something that could easily be done again and again?<p>To be clear, I&#x27;m against the backdoor, but as an engineer I know that Apple could give the data back if they wanted. I guess it&#x27;s bad PR from them to say so though.<p>I&#x27;m also very surprised at how transparent the FBI is about their incapacity at cracking the phone. Or maybe this is also just for PR reasons and the phone is already cracked?
