Apple (AAPL - Get Report)isn't taking the issue with the FBI lightly over whether to unlock one of its iPhones, with CEO Timothy D. Cook vigorously defending the company.
Appearing on ABC's World News Tonight yesterday, the Apple exec sat down with David Muir to discuss the ongoing battle with the government over whether it should (or can) unlock the iPhone 5c used by gunman Syed Farook.
Last week, in a letter posted to the company's website, Apple CEO Timothy D. Cook said the request would set a "dangerous precedent," threatening the security of Apple's customers, something it has long said it would not do.
The company also put up a FAQ on its website this week to discuss the issue in more detail.
The New York Times reported yesterday the company is working on making an iPhone that even Apple can't hack to try to avoid this situation in the future.
