Apple Engineers Might Quit If Ordered To Unlock iPhone For FBI

Even if law enforcement wins the case, it could still lose.

There's a new challenge to law enforcement's effort to get Apple to unlock one of the San Bernardino shooter's phones. The government faces off against Apple in court on Tuesday to argue that the company must comply with a previous court order to bypass the security features built into iOS and also build a version of iOS with a back door accessible to the government. Apple has been strongly opposed to the order and now several key Apple engineers are saying they could simply quit the company instead of being forced to work to weaken the security of software and devices they helped build, reports the New York Times.
