&gt; Go ahead and get your secret warrants and send those NSL&#x27;s it&#x27;s physically impossible for us to get you the information you want.<p>I would agree with you except for this bit right here. Apple has already acknowledged that they <i>can</i> break this. They just don&#x27;t want to. If they government pushes hard enough, they won&#x27;t have a choice. My cynical side this is probably all Apple was hoping for. Look like the good guys, but don&#x27;t do anything that would increase their liability.<p>Even if they designed something they couldn&#x27;t break now, they control the update mechanism. Adding the ability to do so in the next update is, from my understanding of Apple products, possible. I do agree that it has forced this whole thing out into the open, but they could have done so much more here to make it actually impossible to break if they truly wanted to make a stand. Of course, they&#x27;d be giving up their hold on your device if they did that.
