And just like that, the tempestuous battle between Apple and the US government over a locked iPhone is finished.
The FBI has successfully accessed the data stored on San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook’s iPhone, according to a filing today by federal prosecutors.
That means the government “no long requires the assistance from Apple Inc.” it had sought through a court order filed last month.
The short filing concludes by asking that the order, which would have forced Apple to build a special software to circumvent the phone’s security measures, be thrown out. The court granted the government’s request to vacate the order.
