@chrisgeidner@Patterico The issue isn't really whether someone else can write the code. -
@chrisgeidner@Patterico It's whether Apple's proprietary access signature for the update will be replicable. (It won't.) -
@chrisgeidner@Patterico Right? FBI needs Apple bc only Apple has the valid access signature to update the firmware. -

@chrisgeidner@Patterico If Apple does the work, they never have to lose sole possession and control over the firmware signature. -
@chrisgeidner@Patterico Would be monstrously intrusive to say "Apple, give your firmware update access to FBI (or a contractor)." -
@gabrielmalor@Patterico Oh, totally. I agree as to your last tweet. I'm not sure about your prior one, tho, given gov't access requested. -
@chrisgeidner@Patterico The request to remotely connect was only to "conduct passcode recovery analysis." Seems like no more required. - 3 more replies
