The FBI wants Apple to break encryption for iPhone models that third-party companies can already unlock<div class="feat-image">
</div>
<p>There’s a lot of publicity right now about
the FBI’s request for Apple to help them unlock two iPhones owned by a murder suspect who opened fire at a Florida navy base.</p>
<p>However, what has gone underreported is the fact that the two iPhones in question are actually old models, an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 7.</p>
<p>
As noted by the Wall Street Journal today, these devices are so old that their security has already been compromised. Plenty of security firms on the gray/black market are available to unlock older iPhone models, so why does the FBI need Apple?</p>
