Apple Inc told a U.S. judge that accessing data stored on a locked iPhone would be impossible with devices using its latest operating system, but the company has the technical ability to help law enforcement unlock older phones.苹果公司向美国法官詹姆斯·奥伦斯坦回应，萃取一台加装了苹果近期操作系统、且已被瞄准的iPhone手机上的数据是“不有可能的”，但苹果不具备协助执法人员机构关卡较原有iPhone的“技术能力”。Apples position was laid out in a brief filed late Monday, after a federal magistrate judge in Brooklyn, New York, sought its input as he weighed a U.S. Justice Department request to force the company to help authorities access a seized iPhone during an investigation.苹果在周一晚递交的诉书中陈述了上述立场。

此前美国司法部向法院明确提出拒绝苹果帮助当局萃取一台在调查中掳获的iPhone上的数据，布鲁克林的联邦治安法官奥伦斯坦正在考量该拒绝，并谋求苹果的意见。In court papers, Apple said that for the 90 percent of its devices running iOS 8 or higher, granting the Justice Departments request would be impossible to perform after it strengthened encryption methods.在法庭文件中，苹果称之为，在苹果增强加密方法后，对于90%运营iOS 8或以上版本的苹果设备，美国司法部的拒绝是“无法被继续执行的”。

Those devices include a feature that prevents anyone without the devices passcode from accessing its data, including Apple itself.这些设备不具备一个特性，可以避免没密码的任何一方提供该设备的数据，还包括苹果公司也敢。Apple told U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein it could access the 10 percent of its devices that continue to use older systems, including the one at issue in the case. But it urged the judge to not require it to comply with the Justice Departments request.苹果向奥伦斯坦回应，苹果可以萃取仍在用于较旧版本操作系统的那10%的苹果设备，还包括上述案件中的iPhone手机。但苹果呼吁奥伦斯坦必拒绝苹果按照美国司法部的拒绝行事。Forcing Apple to extract data in this case, absent clear legal authority to do so, could threaten the trust between Apple and its customers and substantially tarnish the Apple brand, Apples lawyers wrote.“在缺少具体法律许可的情况下，在本案中被迫苹果萃取数据，有可能威胁苹果与其客户之间的信任，并很大伤害苹果品牌，”苹果的律师写到。

A spokeswoman for Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Robert Capers, whose office is handling the case, declined comment.美国布鲁克林联邦检察官罗伯特·凯普斯的办公室负责管理此案，凯普斯的发言人拒绝接受早已置评。
