Apple and Justice Department start new feud over locked iPhone in New York

The US government is pushing a federal court in New York to force Apple to unlock a drug dealer's device even after the man pleaded guilty

Apple and the US Justice Department are headed back to court over a locked iPhone. And once again, both sides are accusing the other of being duplicitous.

This time, the US government is pushing a federal court in New York to force Apple to unlock a drug dealer's device even after the man pleaded guilty. A federal magistrate has previously turned down that request, but the government counters that, in this case, Apple has the technical means to help, and should be compelled to do so.
