I just heard that a security vulnerability has been found that may lead to hackers being able to crack one, unbelievably. Now the plot thickens.
Considering all the recent reports of the FBI and CIA using previously unknown zero-days, I think it's foolish to believe that they haven't already cracked it, and this is just public show to lull the terrorists into believing they are still safe using iPhones to do their business. The day it comes out they can crack an iPhone will be the day they stop using them, so it only makes sense. Enigma was this way in WW2, the british did everything in their power (including sacrificing entire cities!) to keep hitler convinced they hadn't broken enigma, because it was just too valuable of a source of intelligence to lose.
