Apple continues to refuse Barr’s request that it help find a way for law enforcement to access encrypted devices with a court order,
like the one Apple resisted in 2016 in the case of a shooter’s iPhone in San Bernardino, California. In that case, the point was dropped when the FBI was able to crack into the phone without Apple’s help, but the incident raised questions about the balance between civil liberties and public safety that have yet to be settled.
“We have always maintained there is no such thing as a backdoor just for the good guys,” Apple said in its latest statement.
