苹果公司让破解iPhone更难

According to the New York Times, Apple engineers have begun developing new security measures that would make it impossible for the government to break into a locked iPhone. This comes after an earlier court order for Apple to help access encrypted information stored on the iPhone of the San Bernardino shooter.

The ruling asks Apple to write software that would disable its passcode protection, and allow an infinite number of guesses without erasing the data on the device. Apple has publicly said it intends to fight the order.

It has until Friday to respond. The company's CEO Tim Cook said the government was asking for "the software equivalent of cancer". In his first interview since the row started, Cook said he plans to talk to President Barack Obama directly about getting the dispute "on a better path."
