A law enforcement source tells CBS News that so far nothing of real significance has been found on the San Bernardino terrorist's iPhone, which was unlocked by the FBI last month without the help of Apple.
It was stressed that the FBI continues to analyze the information on the cellphone seized in the investigation, senior investigative producer Pat Milton reports.
Investigators spent months trying to gain access to data on the locked iPhone used by San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook, believing that it might hold information on the plans or contacts of the attackers, who killed 14 people on December 2, 2015.
Apple was fighting a court order to assist the FBI in bypassing the phone's security measures. On March 28, the FBI announced that it had managed to unlock the phone and was dropping the court fight with Apple.
The FBI has not disclosed what method it used to access the data on the iPhone but the method is believed to have been developed by a third party, a private entity, the government has refused to identify.
FBI Director James Comey said last week that the bureau has not decided whether to share details with Apple about how it hacked into Farook's iPhone 5c. "If we tell Apple, they're going to fix it and we're back where we started," Comey said. "As silly as it may sound, we may end up there. We just haven't decided yet."

Seems like they found an Apple key exploit themselves. Hope Apple does find and patch it, as they were definitely leaning towards getting me as a permanent fan when I get my next phone. Google is just a little too chummy with the gov't and seemingly wanting to be a gov't themselves.

Of course it didn't. They just wanted to get a ruling to set precedent stating they can force companies to hack into customer phones. Once they saw they were probably going to get ruled against they fell back.

I doubt they'd had any problem getting any other company, besides the one of two that could buy ALL of Congress and is not working with/for them in Google, to hack the phones for them. Apple held out for good reason, as America's interests are not mutual to their own. We won't be on top forever, and having a singular entity have that kind of power that can be corrupted is not a good look for them to have publicly.

The Fed's shouldn't have tried to make Apple the test case for their bullying so publicly. Apple still win big here, and likely impressed China and Russia.

The government was asking Apple to create a whole new program to hack into their own technology. Just the money to make that happen alone was a good enough reason for them to say no.

I honestly don't understand your point. Why would this be a good look for China and Russia

The meaning wasn't it's a good look for them, but it's a good feeling as if Apple has actual boundaries, that the USA just can't use terrorism to supercede. Many countries give up their sovereignty for American interests, and I don't think Russia and China would necessarily be open to doing that, but a lot of these companies have American braintrusts or heavily influenced by our policies. Seeing a multinational say no to American entitlement must have made countries like China and Russia feel better.
