South African detectives race to Apple HQ for help cracking Oscar Pistorius’ iPhone passcode

Three South African investigators are racing against the clock to secure crucial information from Oscar Pistorius’ iPhone 5 before his trial starts on Monday.

The detectives have flown to Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California to request help in unlocking the iPhone’s passcode, as prosecutors want to access its SMS and WhatsApp messages as evidence for the trial.

Sure seems like they waited ’til the last possible minute for this.
