The U.S said that it may no longer need Apple's help to break into an iPhone that belonged to the shooter in San Bernardino, Ca. This led the judge to postpone the court hearing. The F.B.I are temporarily avoiding the issue. This has been a battle between a powerful nation in the world and a powerful company in the world. The government now possibly has a third party with a way into the phone and open new boundaries in the case.    However the article doesn't include any information on how they might be able to access the phone. This is good for the F.B.I because they will be able access all the information that is on the phone without the help of Apple. This is bad for Apple because their consumers privacy and their first amendment rights could be threatened.    Regardless of what happens with this case it could pose a bigger threat to US citizens in the future. Even though this could help the F.B.I with the case it would also allow the government to access all iPhones with ease in the future. If this case goes on then eventually congress would have to get involved.   The F.B.I is exploring all their options to find a better way into the phone. They are getting the argument from a document called the All Writs Act. The lawyers from the F.B.I are using the writs act which says that it is a order for them to give over the information on how to get into the phone. This act is very vague because it doesn't say if they are allowed to access all of the iPhones instead of one.    The government might be able to access the phone through the third party and postpone the case. Yet Apple still has kept same position, that is to keep the consumers' information private. Despite the third party the case still remains a big deal for Apple, The government, and all consumers.
