Police officers now have a way of unlocking any smartphone, including iOS devices running up to iOS 12.3.

Earlier today, an Israeli forensics firm revealed on Twitter their newest Universal Forensic Extraction Device (UFED) version. The company, called Cellebrite, unveiled the UFED Premium as the only solution that can “unlock and extract crucial mobile phone evidence from all iOS and high-end Android devices”, including flagship Samsung models. The device also has support for accessing file system on popular models manufactured by LG, Motorola, Huawei, and Xiaomi.  

The company shared that this new tool can “bypass or determine locks and perform a full file system extraction on any iOS device, or a physical extraction or full file system (File-Based Encryption) extraction on many high-end Android devices… gain access to 3rd party app data, chat conversations, downloaded emails and email attachments, deleted content and more.”

As shared by Wired, the new UFED tool will be sold as an “on-premise” tool, meaning police officials can purchase the tool and use it whenever they need it.

Through the years, Apple has been working hard at blocking tools such as these. Back in October, the company revealed that the GrayKey forensics box from Grayshift (another forensics firm) is no longer able to unlock iOS 12 devices.

Apple is expected to roll out iOS 13 this summer and fall.
