I think the judge erred in the decision. I also think at some point the appellate court or even the Supreme Court will side with apple as it should in my opinion. The FBI wants Apple to make up for its ineptitude. 2 things were wrong here. First San Bernardino County bought a program that would have allowed them to manage the phones which feature included unlocking the phone regardless of the password. They were paying $4.00 for each phone. But never installed the software on the phones. Sounds like another case of wasteful taxpayer spending to me. The 2nd mistake was that an FBI agent change the password after he could not unlock it. For what reason would that idiot do that. Apple has helped the FBI unlock phones in the past. I think the problem this time is that the phones only allows so many attempts before it will wipe that phone totally totally clean. The FBI has used up their chances. If they continue the phone will be wiped completely clean. So they want Apple to create a program that they can continue to enter codes which are several billion and the phone not recognize the attempts. Also keep in mind by compromising security on the phone would be to compromise the integrity of the phone. You do that and you also devalue what the company is worth to some degree. I see Bill Gates is saying Apple should be made to unlock the phone. Sure he would.
