Authorities serve Apple a warrant for Texas shooter’s iPhone

as declared in Two phones were disclosed at the scene: older push-button LG and what native break news described as a "blood spattered" Apple iPhone SE. Now native law enforcement has served Apple with a search warrant in order to retrieve data from the smartphone. Apple reached out to law enforcement after the press conference, offering technical assistance in getting onto the device. The offer is likely continue on the table, if law enforcement is willing to accept. Given the assistance Apple can potentially offer up, having to innovate an exploitable backdoor can might be averted once again.

Apple served with warrant to open the Texas shooter's iPhone SE

Apple has formally been served with a search warrant for access to the iPhone SE used with the person responsible for the Sutherland Springs, Texas shooting. As for the iCloud data, Apple generally helps law enforcement access which data, providing the iCloud data, as well as the equipment needed to decrypt it. On the other hand, don't expect Apple to innovate the tool necessary to open the iPhone SE used with Kelley. This is a similar situation to the showdown among law enforcement and Apple related to the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone. Apple has yet to formally respond to the search warrant from the Texas Rangers, however we'll be sure to upgrade the time they do.
