Building a “Backdoor” to the iPhone: An Ethical Dilemma Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

The government wanted Apple to supply the FBI with access to information that was encrypted on an Apple product, the iPhone.

This case talks about the common dilemma in problems involving right-versus-right decisions. Which right should Cook select? What are the ethical dilemmas involved in making this choice? Should Cook solve the dilemma? (Tulsi Jayakumar has an association with the Indian institute ‘SP Jain Institute of Research & Management’.)
