You know that the iOS 8 is released with an improved privacy settings that enables users to store their information encrypted and protected from thieves and even governments. So now Apple can't hand over any information stored on your device to law enforcement, even with a warrant, because it's technically impossible to access data protected by a passcode.





The reason behind this court statement is, a Virginia man accused of attempting to kill his girlfriend after a fight. Police suspected the man recorded the argument on his phone and wanted to use the video as evidence during trial.

If the phone uses both security measures, the ruling against forced passcode disclosures still applies.
