Sorry, maybe I should have been a little more specific. I was looking for a <i>primary</i> source that shows this part: &quot;FBI talked about how they couldn&#x27;t beat iPhones but NSA had them in the leaks &amp; was parallel constructing to FBI.&quot; The link you posted only talks about &quot;hacking&quot; iPhones, but nothing about parallel construction. Additionally, it only talks about how the NSA is making use of the device&#x27;s (local) backup. As far as I can tell that doesn&#x27;t imply a hack of the iPhone itself.
