The Apple engineers who would be tasked with unlocking iPhones if Apple loses its battle with the FBI could refuse to do the work or even quit, says the New York Times.Apple employees are already discussing what they will do if ordered to help law enforcement authorities. Some say they may balk at the work, while others may even quit their high-paying jobs rather than undermine the security of the software they have already created, according to more than a half-dozen current and former Apple employees.Since Apple uses small specialized teams when developing its hardware and software, there is a good idea of who would be on the team tasked to build a backdoor into the iPhone. The NYT’s says it would include an engineer who previously worked at an aerospace company and developed software for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Another senior quality assurance engineer described as an expert ‘bug catcher’ and a third would specializes in security architecture for operating systems powering the iPhone, Mac and Apple TV.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
