Decrypting private iPhone communication after a crime is NOT the same as warranted bugging of a suspect’s house. Because you’re decrypting past private conversations that occurred before they were ever suspected of a crime.
That’s why we don’t want this: accepting iPhone decryption is accepting that we’re carrying around an always on, always listening, always recording government bug. Before we’ve ever committed a crime
Technology might be mildly analogous now, but the way we use it is different and still evolving and needs to be viewed through a different lense and laws adopted to accommodate. I don’t think private companies get to decide the outcome, but fear mongering governments with their own agenda are just as risky. Maybe worse?
There is nothing new here.
The hard drive of your computer and all its history is subject to search with a warrant.
Your past phone records, business record, etc., are all subject to search with a warrant.
But these searches are all "reasonable" because they can not be done without a warrant. There is nothing new at all about this issue with the info on this phone.
And, unless your phone records all conversations the phone is nothing like a "recording bug".
Do you use a computer. do you know that your computer hard drive is subject is subject to search
