I think I need someone to explain this to me because none of this hype makes any sense.<p>I am usually wary of oversimplifying these sorts of controversies, but this one does seem exceedingly simple to me.  It goes like this:<p>Is it possible, even with Apple&#x27;s help, to break the encryption of &lt;insert device model here&gt; without knowing the encryption key, given that the passphrase provides reasonable entropy?<p>If the answer is other than a flat, unambiguous &quot;no,&quot; enjoying the consensus of the scientific and security communities, then that device is simply not secure, right?<p>...and, to extrapolate just a bit: when device that are secure by this definition are in the mainstream (and my understanding is that even current iPhones, unlike the one at issue in this case, are) then this is entirely moot, right?
