Apple's CEO is still upset about a court battle with the FBI from 2016 following the San Bernadino terrorist attack.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said it's unfortunate the FBI's case to force the company to provide data from a terrorist's iPhone in 2016 didn't go to trial because that way the public could have seen the truth.Speaking on Tuesday at a Time Magazine conference in New York, Cook was referring to the case of the San Bernadino shooter, Syed Farook, who killed 14 people and injured 22 others at the Inland Regional Center.

"Now, after the inspector general reports have come out, our worst fears have been confirmed — that it was a very rigged case to begin with," Cook said on Tuesday."So I think this was not the government's finest hour. I have personally never seen the government apparatus move against a company like it did here in a very dishonest manner."

FBI leaders worry that encryption technologies from tech companies could enable criminals to delete or scramble evidence on their phones or computers, putting the information out of the reach of law enforcement investigators.
