It does not work on iOS 9, which the article mentions is what was on the SB shooter phone.

Most of that legal battle, didn't really regard cracking the phone as much as it did the FBI getting a backdoor into the OS. Which would obviously be very beneficial to the FBI.

From the article: "iPhones run on computer programs called operating systems".
That is just comically put - the Daily Mail must have a retarded audience. How could this need elaboration?

I think it's more the incompetence of the dailymail writers.
i always thought it was a game of politics
if the FBI openly states that they unlocked the user's iphone, then it's the people vs. the FBI
if the FBI successfully gets Apple to unlock it, then it's the people vs. Apple
both parties are capable of unlocking it, they just want the other party to do it so as not to look like the bad guy

I really wouldn't give readers of the daily shite that much credit... They may be a step ahead of people who read The Sun, but the only people who read the The Sun un-ironically are complete yobbos.

That's kind of it, except for the FBI it's less public perception and more trying to use this as a wedge to get keys to unlock all iPhones directly from Apple.
