The New York Times:
>Apple is closing the technological loophole that let authorities hack into iPhones, angering police and other officials and reigniting a debate over whether the government has a right to get into the personal devices that are at the center of modern life.

>But privacy advocates said Apple would be right to fix a security flaw that has become easier and cheaper to exploit.
While this may be bad news for law enforcement, keep in mind what Rich Mogull says on Twitter:
>In every conversation I have with people (at Apple) it’s about making things inherently more secure, not about trying to stymie any particular government or agency.
This is terrific. This will also make stolen iPhones less valuable and hopeful reduce theft as a result.
Law enforcement’s job shouldn’t be easy, because the powers it’s always been given are too easy to abuse.
