Just read on yahoo. The FBI techs were so overjoyed that they had cracked the phone, they were hi5'ing each other and such and managed to spill water on the phone rendering it totally dead and un-fixable!

I just checked Yahoo News. No such report on this.

I know a man whose son is in a special response unit. He says we rarely hear more than half of the truth in these kind of situations and that a lot of what we do hear isn't the whole truth. It's called espionage. The FBI, Homeland Security, and others aren't riding in their first rodeo, folks.

I still maintain that Apple is more concerned with their brand and product than national security. If they really wanted to be "good guys" their "geniuses" could have created a way to accommodate the FBI without compromising their "followers." Keep on drinking the kool-aid, folks.

WASHINGTON (Satire from The Borowitz Report)Moments after successfully unlocking the San Bernardino iPhone, the F.B.I. rendered the phone permanently useless by spilling a glass of water on it, an F.B.I. spokesman confirmed on Tuesday.

Calling the accident one of the biggest embarrassments in F.B.I. history, bureau spokesman Harland Dorrinson told reporters, Theres no way to express how bad we feel about what happened to that phone.

Walking reporters through the mishap, Dorrinson said that shortly after the iPhone was unlocked, There were a lot of high-fives, which led to the unfortunate spilling of the water.

After repeatedly attempting to reboot the phone with no success, the F.B.I. consulted several Apple support forums for tips on fixing a waterlogged iPhone. I wish I could report that any of them worked, the spokesman said.

In a possible thawing of relations between Apple and the F.B.I., Apple C.E.O. Tim Cook offered to replace the damaged iPhone for seven hundred and forty-nine dollars, or two hundred and ninety-nine dollars with a two-year contract.

This post is news satire from The Borowitz Report.

That's all I know.

Would have been a better story if they had spilled coffee and donut powder on it.

It all could have been done behind closed doors. No one would have been the wiser. Apple dropped the ball. They could have helped our country.
