After lots of debate and controversy, the Justice Department has finally dropped their lawsuit against Apple according to CNBC. The case was dropped because of a new exploit discovered in the code of iOS. That exploit has not been revealed and hopefully it stays that way. This discovery postponed Apple's trial last week. It also led to this whole thing coming to an end.
"Applicant United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, the United States Attorney for the Central District of California, hereby files this status report called for by the Court's order issued on March 21, 2016. The government has now successfully accessed the data stored on Farook's iPhone and therefore no longer requires the assistance from Apple Inc. mandated by Court's Order Compelling Apple Inc. to Assist Agents in Search dated February 16, 2016. Accordingly, the government hereby requests that the Order Compelling Apple Inc. to Assist Agents in Search dated February 16, 2016 be vacated."
