That&#x27;s a bit extreme.  Just because there is a weakness in the implementation details of the iPhone PIN mechanism does not mean that all phones are weak.  Apple already uses extremely strong encryption, and when coupled with a largish alphanumeric passcode, the phone would not fall to such easy attacks as the phone in question (4-6 digit PIN).<p>This case is not about weakening encryption in any way, something that I think is not well understood outside a technical audience.
