Amid an ongoing dispute with the United States government over a court order to unlock iPhone 5C of one of the San Bernardino shooters Syed Farook…

...Apple started working on implementing stronger security measures "even it can't hack" to achieve un-hackability in its future iPhones.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is deliberately forcing Apple to create a special, backdoored version of iOS that could let them brute force the passcode on Farook's iPhone without erasing data.

However, the FBI approached the company to unlock the shooter's iPhone 5C in various ways like:
  • Create a backdoor to shooter's iPhone.
  • Disable the Auto-destruct feature after numerous tries.
  • Increase the brute force time to try out all combinations.
  • Minimize the time of waiting for a window after each try.
..and much more



Apple is still fighting the battle even after the clear refusal to the court that it will not provide any backdoor access to the agency that would affect its users’ privacy and security in near future.
