amdolan | 10 years ago | on: DoJ to Apple: we can force you to decrypt

The wording that the link discusses is in the pdf[0] section 1.a. on pg 13. Which, for reasons beyond my understanding, argues the point "Apple is not 'far removed' from this matter". The DOJ is discussing a phone that pre-dates iOS 8.

I think the main argument in the linked document is that Apple has the ability to unlock pre iOS 8 phones, and has done it before. Again, that "Apple is not 'so far removed from the underlying controversy that its assistance could not be permissibly compelled.”

The OP seems wrong but IANAL.

> it doesn't have the technical capability to do so;

Is factually incorrect in this case... Right?
