Did law enforcement make a big error in its handling of the iPhone after the
San Bernardino shooting?
That’s what Apple is claiming. According to senior Apple executives,
there was a lost opportunity to get into the shooter’s iCloud account,
which had been backed up six weeks prior to the shooting.
They said the iCloud password was changed hours after the shooting,
preventing a potential iCloud backup that may have revealed further
information about the suspect.
The phone was actually issued to the shooter, Syed Farook, by his
employer and belonged to San Bernardino county.
According to senior Apple executives, in an attempt to access the
device soon after the attack, someone at the county changed the iCloud
ID password, preventing a potential iCloud backup.

Apple engineers would have tried to find a known Wi-Fi network that the
suspect had utilized. That’s because the phone would’ve backed up to
iCloud when it was on a trusted network and plugged in — assuming the
password hadn’t been changed.
