Apple has stated that it is “impossible” to access encrypted data on devices using the latest version of iOS, Reuters reports.
Although the company conceded that it has the “technical ability” to help law enforcement access older iPhones, in a brief filed in a U.S.
court it said that for devices running iOS 8 or higher it “would be impossible” to grant a request by the Justice Department to help authorities access the data on a seized iPhone due to strengthened encryption algorithms in the latest versions of iOS.
