The FBI has managed to unlock the
iPhone of the San Bernardino gunman without Apple's help, ending a court
case, the US justice department says.
Apple had been resisting a
court order issued last month requiring the firm to write new software
to allow officials to access Syed Rizwan Farook's phone.
But officials on Monday said that it had been accessed independently and asked for the order to be withdrawn.
