Instead of making this a national issue, Apple should've treated it as an exception (it really is) and helped unlock the terrorist's iPhone. So much media attention and debate over this could lead to bad PR. I think it's overwhelmingly good PR, among people who are or will potentially be Apple consumers. This fiasco is proving two very clear things in the minds of many people: 1) The iPhone is so secure that the FBI cannot hack it 2) Apple is standing up against the government to fight for everyone's privacy The people who would view Apple negatively over this issue are by and large morons (e.g. Trump supporters) and generally are more poorly educated and lower income and not Apple's target consumer. Harsh but generally true. Well, Mr. Philosopher King, this particular moron with a doctorate who will be voting for Trump if he's the GOP nominee thinks that Obozo President Con Law Prof could issue an immediate executive order telling his FBI director to back off of Apple, were he so enlightened. Hope you understood my point through all of the brutish, troglodyte grunts.

Hope you understood my point through all of the brutish, troglodyte grunts. I said generally, just like there are some idiots who use Apple/iOS product but overwhelmingly the consumer base skews toward more affluent and better educated people. Likewise, look at the Trump demographic. Simple facts, my friend. Just because you are well educated and happen to support this imbecile doesn't make my point any less correct or invalid. Partisan politics aside, I find it amusing that so many people believe that a shameless imbecile who is not even good at what he does (look at his bankruptcies) is qualified for the most important job on the planet. The problem with democracy is that so many people are clueless idiots. The USA will be the laughingstock of the world with Trump at the helm - that is fact.
