In a statement published a few hours ago (via 9to5Mac), it was revealed that Tim Cook would be leading a group of advisors to meet with executives. Both the FBI and the US Attorney General have asked the company to unlock the two iPhone's used by the attack writer.
Pressures from various aspects of the Trump administration
Pressures were accumulating in recent days, at a pace that surprised the company as the NYT relates. Yesterday, both Secretary of the Treasury and President Donald J. Trump joined the FBI and the Attorney General.
We help Apple all the time in TRADE and many other news, and yet they refuse to open the phones used by murderers, drug dealers and other violent criminal elements. They'll have to step up to the plate and help our great Country, NOW! MAKE MOSTLY AMERICA.

To tweet Published yesterday evening, Trump talks about the trade war still being negotiated between China and the US. The price war there in the weeks has just passed the tension has diminished between two blocks. Tim Cook held meetings with his superiors navigate prices will affect Apple products imported from China, preventing the iPhone from entering them.
In the words of the president, Apple should work to open all hosted channels to dangerous criminals, not just those of Pensacola terrorists. So, it seems that management sees it as a way to force the company in the country and in many other cases.
Steven Mnuchin, Finance Secretary a participant in trade negotiations with China, has also asked Apple to cooperate with the law. Mnuchin points out that Apple has previously collaborated and looks to continue to do so now, noting that what the company is asked to do is very different.
If you are looking for a presentation with two "Expired" iPhone
Two terminals are used by Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, who is accused of firing a firearm at Pensacola, Florida, they are the iPhone 5 and iPhone 7. In the first model, it's an eight-year-old model behind her. It was not until the following year that Apple introduced a 64-bit A7 processor that brought secure security as standard.
Therefore, opening a terminal such as the iPhone 5 that comes with iOS 10.3.4 is not the biggest forensic toolkit on the market. Though the iPhone 7 it has a modern processor and still supported by iOS, other tools sold in the security are also able to unlock. These types of tools require physical access to the domain in order to import unlock software.
As Apple said in its statement yesterday, they gave authorities more details. Company it does not say where they come from but it's easy to seduce that it's the iCloud key of the program. But what can escape from that copy is all the files are encrypted with information, such as messages from Message and other activities used by the terrorist. Without the password required by researchers, they would not be able to interpret it.
As mentioned on 9to5Mac, access the iPhone models ancient art It's cheap (about $ 20,000). Therefore, cost is not an issue. It is alleged that management wanted to reach the end of the case in order to set an example when forcing Apple to write software described by Tim Cook as "cancerous" years ago. This situation contrasts with the case of the San Bernardino iPhone in 2016, when the FBI finally gave up before a judge issued a ruling that would best serve the interests of those bureau.
