On the surface, this case might not pique the interest of a manufacturer, but looking up close could reveal a fact that could have a profound impact on manufacturers and businesses in nearly every industry. First, we will give you an overview of the Apple vs. FBI case to offer a little more background on the subject. Then we will discuss how and why this case could set a dangerous precedent for the future of business.
The first coverage of this case was focused on the FBI asking Apple to unlock one of the San Bernadino shooter’s iPhone. However, it wasn’t just as simple as gaining access to this phone and this phone only. The FBI is asking to create a backdoor where the FBI can enter every recent model iPhone. This is not a backdoor in the traditional sense, it would be a tool to bypass the iPhone’s fail-safe of deleting all the phones information after 10 failed password attempts.
