Cellebrite is the same company that it beleived to have helped the FBI crack the iPhone 5c that belonged to the San Bernardino shooter.
Watch: A report claims that the new Apple Watch won’t be a full update to the line, reports AppleInsider. This report comes from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and claims that the new Watch will be the equivalent of an “s” update for iPhones.

He believes that the Watch 2, which is expected to be thinner than the current Watch, won’t be released until sometime next year.
