Apple built such powerful software into the new iPhone 6 that it could take up to 5 years to "break" - After the celebrity nude photo scandal, they did everything they could to "shield" it
The new iPhone, although it can… bend, does not "break".
And we're talking about its software, which is so difficult to "break" that according to the FBI and the NSA, it can take up to five years for a specialist from their agency to manage to break into the software.
In a press conference, FBI Director James Comey criticized the company's software, as the many digits that iCloud requires create millions of combinations that take too long to try all.
Comey accused Apple of facilitating criminals, according to a report in the New York Times. “Especially in kidnapping cases, the phone of someone who has been kidnapped can be the most useful piece of evidence in finding them,” Comey said, giving examples of how this software works negatively.
He also referred to terrorist actions and how a phone that doesn't "break" is the perfect tool for a terrorist, saying that "it's like Apple putting out an ad, telling you how to avoid surveillance - even the ones that are legal.".
Of course, companies like Google and Apple say they can't do their job properly and that they lose credibility when they can't promote their products as invulnerable. And that they lose customers when potential buyers think their files and personal information are not safe. Apple representatives also rushed to respond to Comey's statements, commenting that the US government is exaggerating.
Of course, after the scandal with the nude photos of celebrities, Apple wants to restore its reputation as... invincible. And it seems that with the new iPhone it has succeeded.
