Apple says it will fight the U.S. government about sharing information from the iPhone used by a shooter in a deadly attack in California. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, wants Apple to help agents get information from a phone that is locked. Apple head Tim Cook says the company will not assist the FBI. He says to do so could damage encryption for millions of other users. Cook's statement was posted early Wednesday on the company's website. It could start a legal dispute between the federal government and the U.S. information technology industry. A U.S. judge ordered Apple to help the FBI break into an iPhone belonging to Syed Farook. Farook was one of the shooters in the December 2 attack that killed 14 people. Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, died in a gun battle with police. The judge’s ruling requires Apple to help the FBI break into Farook's work iPhone. The iPhone has a self-destruct feature.
