HOW AN IPHONE COULD ROCK WIRELESS
If Steve Jobs' Apple decides to build a wireless phone, as widely rumored, the company has the chance to shake up not just the wireless device business - an industry dominated by the likes of Motorola and Nokia - it also could open the entire wireless distribution model in the United States.

A wireless IP phone? Thats not only revolutionary, its close to brilliant! We have mobile phones, mobile internet, and mobile internet on our phones, why not mobile phone via internet protocol? If this works and he gets it out first, it will be another "ipod" type market creation and another Steve Jobs idea that was fabulous. I love the idea!
Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone order 'threatens customers' security'
In a message to customers, Apple CEO Tim Cook said Apple opposes an order by a federal judge that ordered the firm to help the FBI break into an iPhone belonging to one of the killers in the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings in December. "The U.S. Government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create. They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone," he said. Ref.

Federal judge: DOJ can't force Apple to unlock iPhone in New York case
A judge in New York has denied the Department of Justice's request for an order requiring Apple to bypass the security password on a criminal suspect's iPhone in a routine drug case. The pro-Apple ruling is the latest in the privacy vs. Law enforcement debate. Ref. USAToday.
The FBI is reporting that they may have used other 'tools' in order to break into the iPhone. I thought they would have already been able to do this but maybe wanted to test the IT waters to see how they would react.
