[EXCELLENT!] Apple to Close iPhone Security Hole That Police Use to
Crack Devices
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/13/technology/apple-iphone-police.html
But now Apple is closing the technological loophole that let
authorities hack into iPhones, angering police and other
officials and reigniting a debate over whether the government
has a right to get into the personal devices that are at the
center of modern life. Apple said it was planning an iPhone
software update that would effectively disable the phone's
charging and data port -- the opening where users plug in
headphones, power cables and adapters -- an hour after the
phone is locked. In order to transfer data to or from the
iPhone using the port, a person would first need to enter the
phone's password. (Phones could still be charged without a
password.)
