A New York judge said on Monday that the U.S. Justice Department cannot force Apple to provide the FBI with access to locked iPhone data in a routine Brooklyn drug case, CNBC reports.
The decision by U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein follows the recent order by a judge in California requiring Apple to create software to help unlock the iPhone of one of the shooters in the December 2 killing of 14 people in San Bernardino, California.
