Now that the FBI has discovered a way to unlock Syed Farook’s Apple iPhone 5c without Cupertino’s help, the law enforcement agency has become the belle of the ball. As we told you last week, numerous police agencies are asking the FBI to help them open an iPhone that they feel might contain evidence. For example, the Conway Police Department in Arkansas is going to use the resources of the FBI to unlock an Apple iPhone and Apple iPod touch related to a double murder.
Regardless of whether the FBI responds to Apple’s request to spill the beans over how it unlocked Farook’s handset, the smart money says that Apple will soon figure out the FBI’s magic trick and quickly put the kibosh on it through a software update.
