Apple CEO Tim Cook has gone public again with a big, splashy cover story in Time
, where he talks about Apple's battle with the FBI over whether to unlock an iPhone used by one of the shooters in the San Bernardino, California, killings.
Most of the story repeats the same public arguments Apple has made since the FBI's demand dropped about a month ago.
But Cook did make one new philosophical point in Apple's case against the FBI: Law enforcement doesn't necessarily need direct access to devices when people are freely giving away so much personal information to social networks and other services that store data in the cloud - Apple included.
The FBI says Apple's stance on encryption means the company wants to "go dark" and remove any possibility that law enforcement can get its hands on the data of a suspected criminal, no matter what.
But Cook countered by pointing to all the data that's already available to the FBI.
