Highway to iOS Backdoor

In December fo 2015 there was an unfortunate event where 2 terrorists killed 15 innocent civilians in San Bernardino, California. Much information is still unknown about the terrorists and their motives. Much of their personal items have been confiscated but one item has been collected that is causing controversy, the iPhone. One of the shooters, Syed Farook, iPhone was recovered but is locked with a passcode. The FBI who is investigating this case states they need to access his phone to learn crucial information about the attack. The FBI has formally asked Apple, the phone developer and designer, to design a "back door" so the FBI can access a locked phone without having to know the password. Apple responded with saying it was unconstitutional also a myriad of other reasons like it could set precedent for other criminal cases like this forcing phone companies to created forged operating systems to over ride the security protocol embedded in the phones software. Apple also stated that the FBI reset the iPhones iCloud account password so any information on the phone would have been uploaded to iCloud which can be used to store personal information from the phone in a cloud server. So if the FBI did some research before fondeling with the phone they would have had a better chance trying to recover information from Farook's phone. The FBI brought this case to congress only to be shut down by both parties saying it is a fools errand, mocking the FBI's efforts to get Apple to creat a back door.
