Apple vs. FBI

The FBI was about to force Apple to hack into one of San Bernandino shooter's iPhone when an unidentified person gave the FBI the code to hack it. Because of this person, the FBI dropped their case against Apple, however, this time around Apple wants something from the FBI. Apple's laywers are trying to figure out a way to force the FBI to give them that code. I think that this is very important to Apple because Apple is known for their security system and to know that there is a method out there that can defeat will ruin their reputation. On the other hand, I also understand why the FBI doesn't want to give Apple the method. The FBI collects several methods to hack into other company's product in case during times like this and they need to hack into someone'e iPhone; they keep these codes without telling those companies.  What Apple is worried about is that since the general public now knows that there is a way to hack into iPhones, more and more people are going to try to hack it, and this will jeopardize their product. They want to get the hacking code so that they can improve on their iPhones and make their security system better. Even though the FBI is unwilling to give Apple the code, Apple said that they will be able to get the code eventually. One of the reason for this is the unidentified person that gave the code to the FBI might sell it to others, and it will eventually land on Apple's lap. Another reason is since the world now knows that the FBI has the hacking code, local and state authories are asking the FBI to give them the code in order to catch criminals or to collect evidence to put them in jail. With enough pressure, the FBI might have to give in. I understand why the FBI wouldn't want to give the code away if they give the code away, it is almost a sure thing that Apple will fix their security system, and what happens if the FBI needs to hack another iPhone? They already know that Apple isn't willing to give the FBI the code. But I also understand why Apple needs the code, they spent millions of dollars to secure the content in their products and their entire company might go down if there is something wrong with their product.
