Apple’s defense against FBI gets a boost (The 3:59, Ep. 2)

This latest installment of The 3:59 podcast kicks off with more news on Apple’s battle with the feds.

The tech giant has been fighting a court order compelling it to hack into an iPhone used by one of the attackers in the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.
