Apple is in a fresh hell for refusing to unlock a terrorist’s cell phone, for the second time.
US president, Donald Trump, went after Apple on Twitter.
US Attorney General, William Barr, accused Apple of refusing to assist law enforcement in an investigation into a suspected terrorist shooting at a Florida naval base.
Trump claims Apple keeps refusing to cooperate, despite his government’s efforts to help the company on trade issues.

A Saudi trainee shot dead 3 American sailor on the December 6th shooting incident.
Apple denies refusing to help authorities with the investigations. It said in a statement, “Our responses to their many requests since the attack have been timely, thorough and are ongoing.”
In 2015, Apple clashed with the US justice department for refusing to unlock the phone of a California mass shooter.
Instead, US law enforcement paid a third party US$ 1 million, to write software that could bypass the Apple device’s encryption.
