AppleInsider Staff
This week, the AppleInsider podcast analyzes the far reaching implications of a federal court order — one that would see Apple undermine its own iOS encryption protocols to assist an FBI investigation.
AppleInsider editors Daniel Eran Dilger and Mikey Campbell look at the issue from all angles, taking into account potential ramifications for the U.S. tech industry and the customer it serves.

Great listen. Dan, you are very astute and well informed.
I do tend to you think you are bit too forgiving, in some of the benefit-of-the-doubt you afford the government bodies for such unlawful demands and actions. They know exactly what they are doing, and it is anything but mere earnest self servitude.
Great episode guys. Really wish we could just replace the ridiculous information some media outlets are spewing out with the far more thought out and accurate information provided in this podcast.
Mikey & Dan,
Great webcast -- substantive and thought provoking. Thanks.
Excellent podcast. At first I thought your statement that "nobody who understands what's involved is on the side of the FBI" was a little far-fetched and simplistic. But after researching it some more you're pretty much right. It seemed like Bill Gates (who obviously understands the issues at play) was going to serve as the counterargument when things like this were reported: http://www.computing.co.uk/ctg/news/2448176/bill-gates-backs-the-fbi-against-apple-over-the-san-bernardino-terrorists-iphone
However, it turns out that the initial reports were inaccurate:

In the show notes above, the hyperlinks in the sentence "Follow our hosts on Twitter: @danieleran and @mikeycampbell81" really should link to their twitter bios.
