This happened in India and NOT the United States of America. Just because Apple won't "unlock" a phone in the USA for the FBI does not mean they won't do it India for the Indian police. There is so much US defaultism in this thread it's terrifying.

But… Apple states

As a result of these stronger protections that require data encryption, we are no longer able to use the data extraction process on an iPhone running iOS 8 or later.

If that’s true, then that would mean that India gets a “different” iOS 16 then other countries. Pretty big deal. Huge, even.

Or worse, Apple can back-door all devices, everywhere.

Apple has stated over and over that the encryption key to the device is the passcode alone.

If there is a “back door”. Is there an Apple universal master encryption key? Is this through brute force?
