Apple contact servers aren’t even loading.
My 6+ still shows the same estimated delivery of 10/1 to 10/6.
lol. I don’t understand how it could have so far off, but I’m not complaining.
My regular 6 128gb still showing 10/13-10/31 and I placed my order on the 12th… Frustrated.
Sent from my iPhone 5
Status changed from processing to “Preparing to ship”. Still has the same dates though.
Couple cool things
“Apple: We can’t access data on iOS 8 iPhones, iPads — even with police warrants”
“Earlier this year, advice from a lawyer: don’t use IOS fingerprint to unlock, it can be compelled. Passwords can’t. Relevant to new press.”
:tup:
Is this a good thing? I’m torn on it. It sounds great for that “my information is secure” mindset, but warrants are often served when they are deserved. I could see that this will definitely slow down a lot of police work when building a case against criminals. A lot of slam dunk cases are built upon photos of crimes taken off of criminals phones, because idiots like documenting everything. We can get phone records from companies, but those are not nearly as good in court.
And they just hit my credit card. That should mean it’s shipping really soon.
Sucks the police will have to work harder?
What did they ever do before people offered up their geolocation(via phone at all times with cell tower data), embedded the location of every photo taken(GPS), and people bragging about crimes on the internet…I mean shit now everyone pays for everything with CC which is also 100% trackable by the police…
Crime was higher significantly higher, and it took longer to charge people. I don’t think police would complain about having to work harder, but they will complain when someone gets off of a crime that is guilty because they can’t get the evidence to prove them guilty that is sitting in plain sight.
That is a BS answer crime didn’t fall off considerably over the last 5-6 years when smartphones have become prevalent its been trending down for the last 20.
Police and the government has been taking advantage of technology and bending all kinds of laws to extend into the realm of technology.
Look at earlier this year the decsion that police can’t search a cell phone with out a warrant
http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/25/justice/supreme-court-cell-phones/
And I think that is a good liberty. But I do think they should be able to search it with a warrant.
They’re just shifting the liability off Apple.
Aka removing some backdoor method of copying what you thought was private encrypted data.
If I encrypt my whole hard drive the Government/LEO shouldn’t hold some magical keys to decrypt whatever they want it has been and would be abused.
^This.
If they want the data, they’ll just have you enter your pin with a warrant.
Yeah so should I get the iPhone 6 or 6 plus?
ive had iPhones for the past 6years.
The 6 plus is the Lamborghini of iPhones.
Use that size comparison link posted a couple pages back. The 6 plus is huge. This will be my first phablet sized phone so we’ll see if I like it or if I decide it’s stupidly huge.
The court can’t force you to give up a password its a 5th amendment thing
But realistically most people use a simple 4 digit pin which could be brute forced fairly quickly.
Wouldn’t it be obstruction of justice?
Computer passwords[edit]
Courts have given conflicting decisions on whether forced disclosure of computer passwords is a violation of the Fifth Amendment.
In In re Boucher (2009), the US District Court of Vermont ruled that the Fifth Amendment might protect a defendant from having to reveal an encryption password, or even the existence of one, if the production of that password could be deemed a self-incriminating “act” under the Fifth Amendment. In Boucher, production of the unencrypted drive was deemed not to be a self-incriminating act, as the government already had sufficient evidence to tie the encrypted data to the defendant.[SUP][69][/SUP]
In January 2012 a federal judge in Denver ruled that a bank-fraud suspect was required to give an unencrypted copy of a laptop hard drive to prosecutors.[SUP][70][/SUP][SUP][71][/SUP] However, in February 2012 the Eleventh Circuit ruled otherwise - finding that requiring a defendant to produce an encrypted drive’s password would violate the Constitution, becoming the first federal circuit court to rule on the issue.[SUP][72][/SUP][SUP][73][/SUP] In April 2013, a District Court magistrate judge in Wisconsin refused to compel a suspect to provide the encryption password to his hard drive after FBI agents had unsuccessfully spent months trying to decrypt the data.[SUP][74][/SUP][SUP][75]

If all else fails you could “forget” a complex password based on stress and other factors :lol:
