   Apple did refuse to give away the code to break into all   
   iPhones to law enforcement (two microseconds later the   
   bad guy would have had it as well).  So one attaboy for   
   Apple.  But they still have the ability to break into   
   your phone if they want too,  So one awsh** for Apple.   
      
   How is iPad for forced updates?
