<article> <section class="page"> <p> Apple’s Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering, outlined why exactly the FBI’s iPhone unlocking request (http://www.macworld.com/article/3036102/legal/apple-versus-fbi-faq-explainer.html) is so dangerous in his first op-ed for the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/apple-vp-the-fbi-wants-to-roll-back-safeguards-that-keep-us-a-step-ahead-of-criminals/2016/03/06/cceb0622-e3d1-11e5-a6f3-21ccdbc5f74e_story.html).</p><p> The FBI prefers iOS 7’s security features, Federighi said, because they were easier for the agency to crack.
