U.S. government gains access to shooter’s iPhone, asks court to vacate order

The Apple Store in downtown San Francisco.


The U.S. government today officially said it has gotten into San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook’s iPhone 5c and it is now asking the court to vacate the court’s original order to compel Apple to help the government unlock the phone.

The government has issued a proposed order to vacate.

Apple vs FBI

The judge in the case has not officially ordered that the case be vacated, but that is presumably what will happen soon.

The development comes days after the government disclosed that it was examining a “possible method” of getting into the phone, with help from an “outside party,” which turned out to be Israeli company Cellebrite. Today’s filing does not specify whether it was in fact Cellebrite that successfully got the phone open or some other organization.

In any case, this is big news in an a saga that has mobilized support from several technology companies, including Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.

It might seem like a relief to Apple, but now the company must deal with the fact that a third party has gained access into one of its iPhones.

Meanwhile, for the FBI, it has gotten the short term win of getting into the phone, but the federal agency remains keen on obtaining a repeatable way to get into iPhones, as FBI director James Comey explained in a congressional hearing a few weeks ago. Plus, that the FBI said it had exhausted all options to unlock the phone but ultimately got the phone open in a short span of time doesn’t make the bureau look very good.
