Yeah, saw that. Very much 50/50 now

I just read all these and cynical old me thinks Oh look..more publicity for Apple. Good or bad... it's publicity at the end of the day. Also while other 'tech giants' are throwing their hats into the ring...it's also publicity for them?

Agreed. But I still think if it's a terrorist then the device should be opened. But that's me.

[Cleoriff]

I have made it quite clear on other threads that this phone needs to be unlocked.

To refuse to unlock shows a support for terrorism in my opinion. I am simply talking about the publicity. (and it still isn't unlocked)

Absolutely
