Apple said to be working on unhackable iPhone

From CNET: Apple's battle with the FBI is nowhere near an end, but the iPhone maker appears to be girding for its next fight over encryption.

Apple engineers are working on new security measures that would prevent an iPhone from being hacked using the methods at the heart of the company's fight with the US government, The New York Times reported Wednesday. It wasn't immediately apparent when such new measures would be made available to consumers.

Representatives for the Cupertino, California-based tech giant didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The development appears to be a salvo in the war of words between the FBI and Apple, which has declined to modify its iOS software so the government can crack open an iPhone 5C tied to the December massacre in San Bernardino, California, which left 14 dead and 22 injured.
