Nexus phones have had full disk encryption since 2014. But now it's a requirement for any smartphone that ships with Android marshmallow.
Good!

Grab persons hand, put finger on sensor. Or find a fingerprint and create a fake. It may or may not have worked in this instance, given the timing, but in the vast majority of cases they would have a way to get access to your phone.
I'm talking about specifically for government and law enforcement. For the average every day user I agree that it isn't significant.If I stole your phone, I doubt I have your finger laying around. If I lost my phone I'm doubting you're likely to have my fingerprint just laying around. It was a measured risk. Increased security for stolen/lost phones versus a slight loss in security in the event you're sleeping and your noisey BF/GF wants to go through your text messages.

Put me on the side of privacy at all costs, even if the crime is deemed terrorism. It's a slippery slope to force companies to break encryption, and in my opinion, the terrorist boogeyman isn't a good enough reason. You start moving into future-crime territory if every private detail of someone's life is accessible to government (even with a warrant)
Any US company should help out during a terrorist investigation. This isnt some petty small crime or criminal.

Apple helped plenty with what they could. Read their letter.Any US company should help out during a terrorist investigation. This isnt some petty small crime or criminal.
It's sad to see society slowly become more willing to give up privacy to obtain the illusion of security.
Government can crack a terries phone? Tough shit for them. Not apples responsibility to help the government develop tools to allow them to continue their mass surveillance but I'm totally sure that's not what this will be about eventually and we can totally trust government they only wanna help (themselves).

Yes you can.
If tech companies start breaking data encryption as a matter of course people can just go back to writing encrypted text too.Yeah, this is basically my stance. 30 years ago someone could just burn the papers or tapes and you'd just have to deal with it as a police/government force.
They have access to the data, it's not Apple's job to do their code-breaking for them.Err, if the evidence wasn't burned, how is saying it could have been burned an excuse to act as if it had been? The phone exists, it has data on it; allow the police to get to it.

The whole phone is encrypted so no, it's not entirely possible. Not without completely breaking the security of iOS.

I just realized that it looks like there are two threads on this topic? I was confused where my posts went haha
The people have spoken!
They can't unlock the phone or they won't?
The poster was making a joke about the grocery store in the image. Larry in the meat department can't or won't unlock your iPhone?!Kind of both. They can't unlock it because they don't have the software to do so, but they won't develop the software because they feel it will make their iOS platform vulnerable.
