The United States Justice Department saysit has found a way to get information from an iPhoneused by a shooter in last year's mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.The Justice Department also saidit no longer needs help from the iPhone's manufacturer, Apple.The company had refused earlier demands by federal investigatorsfor help in recovering data from the device.The government sought to require Apple to write new software programsto help investigators get the data without knowing the iPhone's password.The government believed the informationwould help it in its investigation of the San Bernardino shooting,in which 14 people were killed.Last month, a judge ordered Apple to help the government.But the Justice Department announced this weekit has been able to collect data from the phone.It asked the judge to cancel her order.She did so on Monday.Last week, the government delayed another court hearing in the case.Officials said they needed time to test a methodthat could help them gain access to the iPhone without Apple's assistance.That method was developed without the help of federal agents or Apple.Lawyers for Apple have said that the company wants to know how the device was unlocked.But the withdrawal of the court process could take away Apple's abilityto legally request details on the method the government used.It also is likely to raise questions among users of Apple productsand the technology industryabout the strength of Apple's security on its devices.
