&gt;I have been urging colleagues to respond any time anybody asks about FBI and San Bernardino to say: the real conversation is about China wanting to unlock the phone of a US Embassy employee who they suspect is a CIA agent and don’t we want Apple to be able to say they can’t do that.<p>Wanting Apple not to be able to comply doesn&#x27;t mean they shouldn&#x27;t comply when they can. They should comply, and make sure they can&#x27;t comply on newer models (i.e. make secure enclave nonupdatable without wiping keys or unlocking first).
