Department of Justice dropped its lawsuit against Apple because it had unlocked the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters with the help of a third party. The FBI was granted a delay in the proceedings until April 5, saying it may have found a way to unlock the phone without Apple’s help. The delay makes the FBI look bad because leading up to the hearing date, it insisted it needed Apple’s assistance. “The representations of Apple about their unbreakable security were very endearing, but na.ve,” says Philip Lieberman.”]
