Farook and his wife were both killed by police following the shootings, but the Apple devices the two used are still intact. The Bureau believes that the locked Apple devices might provide necessary and crucial communication information.
This court order comes after Federal Bureau of Investigation asked Apple to provide the passcode for Apple devices belonging to San Bernadino shooter Syed Farook.
Apple has opposed a federal court order demanding that the company write special software that allows the federal government in the United States to tap into Apple devices when needed. Apple isn’t really known for being the bad boy of the tech world, but today the company is front and center when it comes to the U.S government’s bad list.
