my understanding - there is currently no software package created to allow this (ie modified kernel or whatever is necessary). government doesn&#x27;t have resources&#x2F;knowledge to do it on its own, otherwise they would already have it.<p>once this is created, apple would pressed HARD by all authorities to re-use it for all iphones captured. these days we know damn too well that people in CIA, aNSA etc don&#x27;t hold any reasonable moral values when it comes to privacy of about anybody on this planet.<p>plus it could be taken from this specific phone and very probably copied anywhere, without any apple approval or court order.<p>if government was playing mr nice guy till now, there would be at least some hope and faith. currently, there is simply none.
