FBI claims its iPhone Hacking Tool can’t Unlock iPhone 5S, 6S and 6S Plus

FBI Director James Comey said the FBI’s new method for unlocking iPhones does not work on most iPhone models. Comey: “It’s a bit of a technological corner case, because the world has moved on to [iPhone] 6’s,” Comey said, describing the flaw in response to a question. FBI agreed to help the Police in Arkansas in the homicide case by unlocking an iPhone and iPod belonging to two teens accused of killing a couple. Now WhatsApp supports end-to-end encryption by default for its over 1 Billion global users, which is why the FBI is worried criminals and terrorists will take advantage of this move to hide their crime- or terrorism-related communications.
