You seem to be forgetting the time the Obama administration asked Apple to unlock a suspect’s iPhone and Apple refused.

That was before Tim Cook presented Donald Trump with a gold and glass plaque along with a Mac Pro.

We live in far different times these days. I have no doubt in my mind that Apple is complying 100% with every LE request coming their way (not only because of the above gesture, but because it's actually the law)

  • Apple’s lawyers were able to resist the Obama administration’s pressure.

    American presidents are not dictators. The system has checks and balances and the courts decide. It doesn’t matter who the president is.
