Amid all of the current talk about whether government law enforcement agencies should be able to legally force Apple to unlock an iPhone to look for evidence, there is a machine available now at London's Fone Fun Shop that will find the four-digit passcode used to lock down an iPhone. And this device costs only $170.
当人们还在讨论政府执法机构迫使苹果公司解锁iPhone手机来寻找证据的行为是否合法，伦敦的Fone Fun商店却开始出售一种能破解iPhone四位锁屏密码的设备，售价仅170美元。
Fone Fun Shop director Mark Strachan says that this machine was developed to help iPhone owners get to their photos or contacts in a locked iPhone with a forgotten passcode. Discovered in Hong Kong, Strachan says that they were at first skeptical that the device would work. But over time, the tool has proven itself over and over again.
店长马克·斯特罗恩说，开发这种设备旨在帮助那些忘记自己锁屏密码的iPhone用户进入被锁在手机上的照片或通讯录。斯特罗恩在香港第一次看到这台设备，他表示，在最一开始大家都对其能否起作用持怀疑态度。但随着时间的推移，这台设备一次又一次的证明了自己。
The so-called IP-BOX will work on iPhones running iOS 7 and older. It takes 6 seconds to 17 hours hours to crack the four-digit passcode. The Daily Mail purchased the device and cracked the code on an Apple iPhone 5c in 6 hours. A version that will work on iPhones running iOS 9 will be available later this month.
这台叫做IP-BOX的设备可以破解运行iOS 7或者更老版本的iPhone，通常它需要6秒到17小时来破解iPhone的四位锁屏密码。英国《每日邮报》购买了这台设备，并在6小时内破解了苹果iPhone 5c的锁屏密码。该密码破解设备运行在iOS 9系统上的版本将会在本月晚些时候出现。
Strachan says that he believes that the IP-BOX uses the same method employed by the FBI to unlock the iPhone 5c used by Syed Farook, without Apple's help. The FBI is now offering to help other law enforcement agencies seeking to unlock an iPhone, iPad or Apple iPod touch. Apple is trying to discover how the FBI unlocked the phone so that it can issue a software update to close the vulnerability.
斯特罗恩表示，他认为IP-BOX运用了和FBI没有经过苹果公司的帮助而破解塞义德·法鲁克iPhone 5c相同的技术。现在FBI已经开始向其他执法部门提供帮助解锁iPhone，iPad或者iPod Touch的方法。苹果方面正在积极寻找FBI是如何破解iPhone的，并将推出软件更新来关闭这些漏洞。
