<span style="font-size: large;">Taking a look back at another week of news from Cupertino, this week's apple Loop includes Apple's backtracking over bricking iphone with Error53, the Nexus 6p takes on the iphone 6s plus, what the iphone 7 will replace the headphone jack with, price cuts for thge Apple Watch, how Apple could use its Profits to change the smartphone market, Eddy Cue revealing i Cloud and Apple Music numbers, a look inside Apple's chip design team, and why is Apple buying a Fiat van from 1957?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Apple </b>Loop is here to remind you of a few of the very many discussions that have happned around Apple over the last Seven Days( and You can read the weekly digest of Android news here on Forbes)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Apple Takes On The FBI And The American Government</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">There's no doubt that the biggest Apple story this week is the demand by the US Courts on Apple to aid the FBI in extracting the data from an iphone 5C tied into the San Bernardino shooting fromDecember 2015. Apple replied Publicly with a comprehensive and in-depth statement. Forbe's Thomas Fox- Brewster goes through the basics of the case.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.apple.com/customer-letter/" target="_blank"><br /></a></span></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.apple.com/customer-letter/" target="_blank">    " Apple CEO Tim Cook has written an open letter</a> to customars warning them of a" dangerous"       request from the FBI to effetively create a backdoor in their iphones. Cook was writing in reponse to a court order asking Apple to create a tool that would allow for unlimited guesses at a user's passcode, in this case to crack into thw iphone of one of the san bernardio shooters, who killed 14 and injured 22 others in December 2015.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a case that has huge political implication in the current " CryptoWar's being fought by Governments around around the world against devices with " Uncrackable" encryption. part of the case will hing around the question of Apple's ability to accommadate a backdoor that eases security restrictions to allow a brute-force attempt to be made on the device's PIN code. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ben Thompson looks at the technical issues: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"" Specifically, Apple is not being asked to break the encryption on the 
iPhone in question (which is impossible — more on this in a moment), but
 rather to disable the functionality that wipes the memory when multiple
 wrong passcodes are entered in a row.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While <b>Apple</b> may have the ability to perform the requested action on the 
older iPhone 5C handset, that would set a precedent in future cases 
where devices are even more secure. A line in the sand has been drawn. 
Tim Cook is being forced to defend this hill or succumb to future 
Government requests to break into any iPhone. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The point is that the FBI is asking Apple to crack its own safe, it 
doesn’t matter how good the locks are if you modify them to be weak 
after installing them. And once the precedent is set then the 
opportunity is there for similar requests to be made of all billion or 
so active iOS devices. Hence the importance of this fight for Apple.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All I would add is ‘the importance of this fight for Apple… and for you.’</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"> <strong>Apple’s Error In Explaining Error 53 Is Explained</strong></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong> </strong></span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Following the issues around Error 53 and the software bricking 
iPhones where the secure hardware has been disturbed (with Apple stating
 there is no way to restore the device to a working state), a statement 
has been released to say that this approach was in error, it is possible
 for devices to be reset, and the update to iOS to do this is now 
available. Matthew Panzarino reports with Apple’s statement:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><blockquote>
 
 <span style="font-size: large;">Some customers’ devices are showing ‘Connect to iTunes’ after 
attempting an iOS update or a restore from iTunes on a Mac or PC. This 
reports as an Error 53 in iTunes and appears when a device fails a 
security test. This test was designed to check whether Touch ID works 
properly before the device leaves the factory.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
 
 <span style="font-size: large;">Today, Apple released a software update that allows customers who 
have encountered this error message to successfully restore their device
 using iTunes on a Mac or PC.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
 
 <span style="font-size: large;">We apologize for any inconvenience, this was designed to be a 
factory test and was not intended to affect customers. Customers who 
paid for an out-of-warranty replacement of their device based on this 
issue should contact AppleCare about a reimbursement.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Does it work? The team at iFixit picked up one a previously bricked Error 53 handsets to give it a go:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><blockquote>
 
 <span style="font-size: large;">We force restarted it, and connected to iTunes on a MacBook Pro. As 
expected, we were prompted to restore the iPhone to factory settings.</span><br />
 
 <span style="font-size: large;">We’d tried this in the past, but the restore had failed and left the
 iPhone in a recovery mode spiral of death. This time though, the 
process went off more smoothly. iTunes quickly had the iPhone sorted out
 and restored to factory settings on iOS 9.2.1. From there, we had the 
option to restore our data from a previous backup.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">The question now should be why Apple leaned so heavily on the 
security argument as Error 53 reached the mainstream media. When Tim 
Cook has laid out Apple’s approach to security in relation to the FBI 
request with a number of definitive statements around capabilities, the 
previous definitive Error 53 statement might not have been the smartest 
move to make.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Fighting Phablets </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Apple is a recent convert to the phablet category, debuting in 2014 
with the iPhone 6 Plus and updating the design with the iPhone 6S 
Plus. Samsung pretty much created the category, but the Galaxy Note 5 
has not been a critical success. Meanwhile, Google’s Nexus line of 
devices rolled out the Nexus 6P late last year as a challenger in the 
phablet category. How does Google’s champion stand up against Apple’s 
contender? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><blockquote>
 
 <div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The next month is going to be all about Samsung, but arguably the 
most interesting rivalry in the smartphone world today is between Apple 
and its increasingly vocal nemesis Google. For the first time Google has
 started promoting its Nexus range and its latest flagship, the Nexus 
6P, is a truly stunning handset. But how does it compare to the iPhone 
6S Plus, arguably the most well known and most well rounded big 
smartphone available?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Having used both devices since launch I now have my verdict. So make
 a cup of coffee and get comfortable. You’re about to read a dissection 
of the two best smartphones on the planet…</span></div>
</blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Existing iOS and Android users will likely be happy to play at home 
and stay with their favoured platform, but for those on the fence, there is a clear winner.</span><br />
