Plenty of other happenings were in the air though, including "iPhone 7" rumors and Apple's ongoing confrontation with the Department of Justice and the FBI over encryption.

Anyone know what time the event is? I may or not be on an international flight when it airs
GovtOS is totally going to suck. The Congress and Senate apps will keep making unauthorized in-app purchases and won't let any app function unless it makes a large super-pac donation.
A warrant triangulation code approved by the governments and Apple that is a one time approval for opening device. Must be approved by the government and Appleand synchronized for unlocking. Retrieval of data dump uploaded by Apple for a set time limit then phone relocks and new warrant key approved. Use Quantum Key which applies fuzzy entanglement at a distance. Finally unauthorized hacking would trigger a warning to Apple at highest level of management.
Approval would be supervised at highest level in all steps of the process.
