TIM COOK

Law enforcement groups cited a jailhouse phone call intercepted by New York authorities in which an inmate called Apple’s encrypted operating system “another gift from God.”

The South Korean smartphone maker echoed Apple’s arguments against the FBI’s request to build backdoors into the iPhone, saying it would undermine customers’ trust.

Apple, represented in its dispute with the FBI by General Counsel Bruce Sewell, is outspent in D.C. by just about every other large tech company.

Diego Dzodan was detained by Brazilian authorities Tuesday after his employer did not comply with a court order to hand over WhatsApp data.

The tech company appealed the court ruling — regarding the iPhone used by Syed Farook — an hour before the deadline was set to expire.

Apple and the FBI will make their cases before Congress on Tuesday as the debate over access to a terrorist's iPhone continues.

A federal judge said a 1789 law cannot be used to force Apple to unlock the iPhone of a suspected drug trafficker.

Apple reintroduced a regular cash dividend in 2012 after not paying one since 1995. Last year’s was $1.98 per share, amounting to $11.4 billion.

Tim Cook made the comments Friday at a company shareholder meeting, where he described the encryption standoff as a test of principles.

Covertly breaking the code wouldn’t set the legal precedent the FBI wants, cybersecurity experts say.

Apple CEO Tim Cook and others warn that granting the government access to customers' iPhone data would violate First Amendment rights — and lead to more requests.

The FBI wants Apple to help break into the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters; but they have refused, citing privacy concerns.

Improved encryption would frustrate U.S. investigators who are facing problems obtaining data from Apple’s servers related to the San Bernardino case.

Meanwhile, in an interview with ABC News, Tim Cook said fighting against entry into people's smartphones was the right thing to do.

Employees at a Chinese assembly plant that makes iPhones are working long hours for an average wage that’s 2,500 times lower than Apple CEO Tim Cook’s salary.

"I just think it is not the right to thing to unplug [encryption] from the mainstream products that people use,” Mark Zuckerberg said.

The CEO also said that Apple was not committed to an idea until it was spending money on tooling.

Although the FBI maintains that its order is narrowly tailored, Apple argues it would set a “dangerous precedent­” for the future.

The company refuses to create software to unlock an iPhone use by San Bernardino Shooter Syed Rizwan Farook.

It's the agency's response to Apple's charge of a botched investigation in the ongoing conflict over access to Syed Farook's smartphone.

Officials were paying for MDM software that could have easily bypassed the passcode on Syed Farook’s iPhone.
