Apple ( AAPL ) said it may not need to help unlock an iPhone in a Brooklyn drug case, citing the FBI’s efforts to unlock an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists. Apple attorneys late Thursday asked a district judge in Brooklyn to delay setting deadlines until the Justice Department gives its findings on the FBI’s efforts to a California judge. The government recently said it might be able to unlock the San Bernardino smartphone without Apple’s help. The DOJ is scheduled to appear before the judge to give an update on April 5. Apple opposes helping the government on privacy and security grounds, arguing that giving the government tools to access one iPhone would open the door to blanket demands from law enforcement and the potential for hackers and criminals to get ahold of the software.
