Justice Wants Apple to Unlock at Least Twelve Other iPhones
The Justice Department is seeking court orders that would force Apple to help it bypass the security features on at least twelve other iPhones not connected to terrorism cases, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Specifically, investigators want the company to develop a new operating system that would allow them to test out thousands of passwords without triggering an iOS feature that disables the phone after 10 incorrect attempts.
Apple has so far resisted a court order, issued last week by a federal magistrate, to help the FBI unlock a cell phone belonging to Syeed Farook, who carried out the San Bernardino shootings.
