| | On December 2, 2015, a county employee and his spouse killed 14 people and wounded 22 others in [[San Bernadino, California]]. After the attackers were killed, police found that they had destroyed two burner phones but a county-owned iPhone 5C was recovered in tact from one of the assailants. The iOS operating system encrypted all of the iPhone's contents and has an optional feature that would erase the iPhone if more than 10 incorrect attempts were made to enter a 4 digit pass code. In ''In the Matter of the Search of an Apple iPhone Seized During the Execution of a Search Warrant on a Black Lexus IS300, California License Plate 35KGD203,'' Apple and the FBI are fighting over whether Apple can be compelled to crack the iPhone. Apple has been fighting a federal magistrate's ruling that it must assist the FBI in making the iPhone's contents available, and the federal government has argued that there has never been a device that was beyond the scope of a valid search warrant issued by a judge. At a March 21, 2016 Apple press conference, Cook talked about the ongoing conflict with the FBI by saying "...we have a responsibility to protect your data and your privacy. We will not shrink from this responsibility."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://techcrunch.com/2016/03/21/apples-tim-cook-on-iphone-unlocking-case-we-will-not-shrink-from-this-responsibility/|title=Apple’s Tim Cook on iPhone unlocking case: "We will not shrink from this responsibility"|date=March 21, 2016|publisher=AOL|work=TechCrunch}}</ref> | | On December 2, 2015, a county employee and his spouse killed 14 people and wounded 22 others in [[San Bernadino, California]].
