Both parties got what they wanted for the time being, but the war is far from over. The Bureau used a third party's help to break into the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone, but there are countless other iPhones that are part of active criminal investigations that may contain important data. But for now, Apple doesn't have to help unlock them. The sad side effect of iPhone encryption is that families might never be able to retrieve personal data from iPhones belonging to loved ones after they pass away. A murder case in Baton Rouge, La., involves such an iPhone, and it might contain details related to the incident.
