FBI to help US law enforcement unlock iPhones, report says

Leaked FBI advisory tells state and local law enforcement that they are 'in this together' and federal agency will aid unlocking of iPhones where possible

The FBI has told other US law enforcement agencies that it will help them to unlock the iPhones of suspected criminals.

In a memo sent to law enforcement agencies, published by BuzzFeed, the FBI said that following the successful unlocking of the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone 5C without Apple's help, it will consider any tool that will aid its "partners".
