Cook said that the demand threatened the security of Apple's customers and had "implications far beyond the legal case at hand."

In a letter to Apple's customers, Cook said the FBI had asked the company to build "a backdoor to the iPhone." "The government is asking Apple to hack our own users and undermine decades of security advancements that protect our customers — including tens of millions of American citizens — from sophisticated hackers and cybercriminals," he said.
