        @Snowden If it's currently possible for a third party to make those technical changes, that sounds like a backdoor

        @JakeLaperruque they aren't asking Apple to unlock it (they can't), they are asking Apple to help them brute-force the password

        @nicolas09F9 Apparently Apple can override the OS to disable the protections against brute force; sounds the same as being able to break in
