I wonder if the other shoe will drop in iOS12 - Apple getting rid of the bruteforce limiter on PINs. Or making it much more relaxed, too. If it will be willing to do that, I would start getting worried about hidden changes to TouchID and FaceID, too, that could make them easier to crack as well.

I wonder if Apple changed its mind on blocking law enforcement from decrypting iPhones. It seems they were the ones to reach out to law enforcement when the Las Vegas attack happened.

I for one think it's completely ridiculous that every time such an attack happens it's encryption that gets most of the blame, rather than say the guns that were the actual tools that killed all of those people.

So one unhealthy individual can go and get an assault weapon, hundreds of bullets, no questions asked, but it's when he starts talking on his iPhone is when we should be getting worried and monitoring his conversationss?

Plus, such attacks are probably kept private, not shared with their best friends before they happen. The whole logic process seems so backwards. It's a little late to be reading the contents of the shooter's iPhone after he's already killed 20 people, no?
