Italian mobile forensics firm Cellebrite was able to crack the code and unlock the shooter's iPhone 5C. However the company also said that the method would not work on iPhone's newer than the 5S. Now grieving father Leonardo Fabbretti is in talks with the firm to find a way onto his deceased son's iPhone 6 to retrieve some photos.
“I just came back from their office in northern Italy. The meeting went well. They were able to download the directories with the iPhone’s content, but there is still work to be done in order to access the files,” Fabbretti said.
Previously Fabbretti's son Dama gave his father access to his phone via Touch ID. However the father said the iPhone restarted, blocking any Touch ID access, due to the passcode requirement after restart. If Cellebrite were to be successful, the truth behind Apple's security might become even more questionable.
