Although it opposed the court order from the viewpoint of privacy, Apple seems to have made four proposals to the FBI to show cooperative movements for the investigation of terrorists and confirm the data. One of the proposals was to recover the automatic backup data saved on iCloud from the locked terminal, but somehow this attempt failed. Apple's suggestions all failed and the Apple side was also confused by the reasons for failure, but as soon as the seizure was confirmed the ID and password of the iCloud account of the device was changed by the staff of San Bernardino State It proved to be the cause.

As a result, automatic backup was not created and it was impossible to try Apple's proposal, but San Bernardino's official Twitter account is "a change in iCloud's password by FBI's request" as tweeted doing.

However, Falluke's iPhone was last backed up on October 9, 2015 and I know that for some reason the automatic backup was not done for two months. Although it is unknown whether Faluk suspects intended to change settings or not connected to Wi-Fi for two months, Apple executives said, "If the iCloud information has not been changed, backup data There was a possibility that it could be recovered. "

Edward Snowden also tweeted the text that "FBI is intercepting the communication history of the terminal in the first place, so we are acquiring data without releasing the lock on iPhone" in the first place, "FBI And Apple 's battle is covered with the conspiracy of the authorities (FBI). "
