I actually agree with you. Apple should just make it it so that Apple CAN NOT do anything.<p>&gt; If Apple had the phone&#x27;s PIN stored in their database, do you think the government should be able to compel them to hand it over? And why is that any different?<p>Well, I think, they should not, but I don&#x27;t claim its different.<p>Apple wants to have it both ways, build it so that they have full control and they can be compelled by nobody to give up that control. I would rather they build a system, where nobody is in control at all.
