Naturally &quot;can&#x27;t create&quot; is better than &quot;won&#x27;t create&quot;, but this case is about the precedent and not this particular iPhone.<p>If a court can force a company to create new technology that didn&#x27;t exist before, what other tools might they be forced to build?<p>1) Stream keystrokes, audio, video, location to law enforcement prior to encryption<p>2) Replace actual search results with government-approved results<p>3) Force Apple to create target lists of suspects based on their location, apps installed, sites visited, keywords typed<p>Bad things happen when the government can force private companies and individuals to create new tools for law enforcement.<p>There is no technology that prevents Apple from subverting Apple&#x27;s security. If Apple loses, the new precedent could open Pandora&#x27;s box.
