On January 14, it was reported by foreign media that last week the FBI asked Apple to help them unlock two password protected iPhones of Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani. According to the report, Alshamrani shot and killed three people at a naval base in Florida last month, which is now recognized as a terrorist attack by the US authorities. The US Attorney General William Barr said at a news conference recently that Apple had not helped the FBI crack the phone.

There are two iPhones on the poster beside Barr. The Attorney General pointed to them and said: "Finally, I want to talk about a question about the gunman's mobile phone. The gunman has two Apple phones, which can be seen on the poster. Within one day after the shooting, the Federal Bureau of Investigation sought and obtained the authorization of the court according to the possible reasons, checked the two mobile phones, tried to find all clues, and found out who the gunman had contacted. In the gunfight with the on-site emergency personnel, the gunman was out of the fighting state, put one of the mobile phones on the floor and shot the mobile phone. Another phone seems to be damaged.

Barr added: "Our FBI crime laboratory experts have repaired two damaged mobile phones to make them work normally. However, the design of these two phones makes it almost impossible to unlock without a password. It is very important to know who the gunman was with before he died and what they were saying. We have asked Apple to help unlock the shooter's iPhone. So far, Apple has not given us any substantive help. Once investigators have obtained a court order based on reasonable reasons, they can obtain digital evidence, which is crucial. We call on Apple and other technology companies to help us find solutions, so that we can better protect the lives of Americans and prevent future attacks. "
