This letter from Apple to its customers explains why Apple refused to comply with the FBI's request for a "backdoor" to the iPhone. While the FBI wanted to access data on a locked iPhone to use as evidence in a terrorist attack investigation, Apple refused to build a backdoor to the iPhone, citing data privacy concerns. This letter explains such data privacy concerns in more detail.
