NYT: Apple engineers may quit before cracking the iPhone
The spirit of anarchy and anti-establishment still runs strong at Apple. Rather than comply with the government's requests to develop a so-called "GovtOS" to unlock the iPhone 5c of San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook, The New York Times' half-dozen sources say that some software engineers may quit instead. "It's an independent culture and a rebellious one," former Apple engineering manager Jean-Louis Gassée tells NYT. "If the government tries to compel testimony or action from these engineers, good luck with that."
