After FBI officials claimed they don’t need Apple’s help to break into an iPhone, the company responded and vows to continue to increase the security of its products.

Apple and the FBI were in a dispute after authorities asked for help to unlock an encrypted iPhone that belonged to one of the San Bernardino shooters, Syed Farook who, along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 people in December.
