[00:15.40]The Justice Department also said [00:18.04]it no longer needs help from the iPhone's manufacturer, Apple. [00:23.64]The company had refused earlier demands by federal investigators [00:29.28]for help in recovering data from the device. [00:34.08]The government sought to require Apple to write new software programs [00:39.44]to help investigators get the data without knowing the iPhone's password. [00:45.76]The government believed the information [00:48.60]would help it in its investigation of the San Bernardino shooting, [00:53.28]in which 14 people were killed. [00:56.28]Last month, a judge ordered Apple to help the government. [01:01.60]But the Justice Department announced this week [01:04.92]it has been able to collect data from the phone. [01:08.48]It asked the judge to cancel her order. [01:12.76]She did so on Monday. [01:15.40]Last week, the government delayed another court hearing in the case. [01:21.44]Officials said they needed time to test a method [01:25.40]that could help them gain access to the iPhone without Apple's assistance. [01:31.28]That method was developed without the help of federal agents or Apple. [01:38.08]Lawyers for Apple have said that the company wants to know how the device was unlocked. [01:45.44]But the withdrawal of the court process could take away Apple's ability [01:51.28]to legally request details on the method the government used. [01:56.22]It also is likely to raise questions among users of Apple products [02:02.68]and the technology industry [02:05.20]about the strength of Apple's security on its devices.
