Tim Cook: FBI's claims of weakened surveillance powers are 'a crock'

Apple CEO dismisses FBI's argument that only one iPhone will be affected by case of San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook: 'It puts millions of people at risk'

The FBI's claims that its powers of surveillance have "gone dark" are a "crock", Apple boss Tim Cook has told Time magazine.

Cook is currently embroiled in an escalating war of words with the US authorities over Apple's refusal to break into the iPhone of San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook.
