On the one hand, Apple tried to make a deal and keep the whole thing secret. So that makes it seem like Apple was willing to go along (for at least this one case) as long as it was kept quiet.
Apple requested that the FBI keep this request under seal. i.e. not public. That doesn't mean they were intending to comply with it. Simply that they preferred the legal battle to be in secret. Secrecy is hardly unusual for Apple. And neither is doing all they can to protect the secrecy of their customers.
LOL! What do you think it's doing, sensing a beating heart?
Don't fall for the hype. iTouch has been hacked with techniques involving photocopiers and glue. The actual finger of the dead owner would certainly work.
On a 5c (as in this case), probably nearly everyone does use a 4 digit pin. But from the 5s onwards, you can unlock with a fingerprint, so the password can easily be longer.
Equally though, in that case, the FBI can get into a dead person's iPhone by using their dead finger.
Automatic transmission is in the minority. Though they are becoming more popular.
They were seen as an unnecessary expense. Both in terms of less fuel efficiency, and because of maintenance cost. And also some drivers prefer the feeling of being in control...
If you pass a test with a manual (stick shift) then you are covered for automatics too. If you pass with an automatic, you are only licensed for automatics.
Material design is Android, not iOS, and therefore nothing to do with Johnny Ive.
As for Don Norman, I read his "Invisible Computer" when it came out. A very good read, and very believable prediction on the way that mobile devices were going to develop. However, it was completely wrong. He predicted people would have a multitude of single purpose mobile devices. And instead they have a single device that does everything.
You don't know what you are talking about. There's no such thing as "a module pre-approved by the FCC". Every phone model goes through FCC approval individually.
Has anyone ever been wrong so consistently and for so long as you?
Sure. People go into Apple Stores with a device that's often not even within warranty, and most of the time they'll leave again with a working device, having had a bunch of time from an expert, and pay nothing.
e.g. My boss took his iPhone in on Friday. Siri wasn't working. It turned out one of the 3 microphones was broken. They replaced the screen, which presumably has the microphone as a part. Even though it was out of warranty, they charged him nothing, and fixed it on the spot. You don't get that from any other manufacturer.
Sure, you pay more for Apple products. And they are worth every penny.

After a time limit (I think 48 hours) after the last successful iTouch login, you then need to do a PIN/password login.
But that would set the precedent that Apple must help to unlock every phone the FBI or other law enforcers demand.
Apple doesn't want to admit that they can flash new firmware to the locked device even though everyone knows they can.
Given their argument is legal and constitutional, not technical, they are making no such denial.
Photocopiers and glue. It's not like you even have to Google it, it's been a story here.
Dumbass.

Your assumption that they are rolling this out without testing means that it's you that is beyond stupid.

Every language that is indexing into Unicode string is not handling composed characters correctly.
Nope you are still missing the scope of the unwrapping of optionals. This is also different.
Blah blah blah hate Apple blah blah.
No. The guard statement also allows unwrapping an optional, with scope of the rest of the block AFTER the guard.
The if statement allows unwrapping with scope of the block IN the if.
You've just made an excuse for believing anything a CEO tells you.
Except you don't know that that's the case.
How many engineers do you imagine Tesla fires? Don't confuse firing with resigning and going to work for Apple.
Design isn't simply "nice looking devices". Design is how it works.
And I repeat the FACT is that Samsung's marketing spend dwarfs Apple's. As in several times.

I mean they are shit. The quality is shit. In the most part designed by programmers, not designed by designers.
Howard Huges became mentally ill. He's not a moral fable for where people inevitably end up if they are successful and want for nothing.
He's a designer, not a businessman.
Free things are crap. You can get GIMP for free, but every designer I know uses Photoshop.
Ah, blame the victim.
Rather that blaming the shitty OS.
it sure seems as though Tesla is eating Apple's lunch there
On what basis do you say so, other than repeating Elon Musk?
