San Bernardino iPhone hack won’t work on newer models, says FBI

Director James Comey says US government in discussions over whether to reveal details of purchased hack that only works on 5C and older devices

Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey has confirmed that the law enforcement agency's hack on the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone 5C will not work on newer iPhones.

Talking to students at Ohio's Kenyon College - Comey's alma mater - he said: "We have a tool that works on a narrow slice of iPhones. The world has moved onto [iPhone] 6s and this doesn't work on 6s or on iPhone 5Ss."
