| U.S. tech companies unite behind Apple ahead of iPhone encryption ruling | | Friday, March 04, 2016 4:06 AM | |

The rare display of unity and support from Apple's sometime-rivals showed the breadth of Silicon Valley's opposition to the government's anti-encryption effort. Apple's battle became public last month when the Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained a court order requiring the company to write new software and take other measures to disable passcode protection and allow access to an iPhone used by one of the shooters in the December killings in San Bernardino, California.
