      That’s what they say. I mean the news literally base this off the FBI’s own words, so there’s no way for us to tell if they actually manage to break the encryption but then turns around that say “the encryption is too strong”. Besides, iOS is closed source.

      Intelligence agencies have made this “Anom Phone” that is this supposed encrypted phone that drug dealers and various criminals used to communicate, turned out to be a honeypot.

          There are different versions.

          One is where they sell the cellebrite device to law enforcement.

          Another where the cellebrite device remain in control of cellebrite, and law enforcement has to send the phone to cellebrite.

          Unless you actually work for cellebrite and got access to their more advanced tools, which then I doubt they would let you share the details of since that must be breaking some non-disclosure agreement.

            Yes, I am well aware.

            shipping a phone to them or waiting for the tech to arrive, that transit time, is what my mind went to immediately when this feature was introduced.

            The phones are significantly more difficult to get into after the reboot.

            I’m disclosing absolutely nothing.
