Should I feel sorry for Apple?

Asked by Not_what_you_want_to_hear (98points) February 17th, 2016

If Apple gives the FBI access to the terrorist’s iPhone so we can gain any information about who the terrorist was in contact with, then Apple risks losing credibility around the world as having a secure system.
Bottom line is that Apple would lose money overall because they didn’t make good on their promise of user privacy.
That’s what this is really all about, money!
It could be financially devastating to them if hackers were to somehow use the software they create for the FBI to access the one terrorist’s phone to then hack the phones of others.
I mean I get that this sucks for Apple, but since when is the bottom line of a company more important than potentially saving lives.
