I hope Apple fights this forever!
WASHINGTON The Justice Department is demanding Apples help in unlocking at least nine iPhones nationwide in addition to the phone used by one of the San Bernardino, Calif., attackers.
The disclosure appears to buttress the companys concerns that the dispute could pose a threat to encryption safeguards that goes well beyond the single California case.
Apple is fighting the governments demands in at least seven of the other nine cases, Marc J. Zwillinger, a lawyer for the company, said in a letter unsealed in federal court on Tuesday.
Apple has not agreed to perform any services on the devices, Mr. Zwillinger wrote. Starting in December, the letter says, Apple has in a number of cases objected to the Justice Departments efforts to force its cooperation through a 1789 statute known as the All Writs Act, which says courts can require actions to comply with their orders.
