Italian citizen Leonardo Fabbretti
appealed to Apple’s CEO to help unlock his late son’s phone. A 13-year-old Dame, originally from Ethiopia, was the adopted son of Fabretti, and died a few months ago. On the phone were photos and correspondence Lady.
The father who mourns his adopted son wants, by all means, to extract from the phone the latest materials related to his son, which, in his words, have become “iPhone hostages”.
In case of failure, Fabretti intends to turn to an Israeli company, which, according to rumors,
helped the FBI in unlocking the phone seized from the shooter from San Bernardino. The company Cellebrite, he said, has already agreed to try to unlock the phone for free.

A lady born in Ethiopia and orphaned, was adopted by Fabretti in 2007. In 2013, after an accident at a ski resort, he was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. Last September, despite all attempts at treatment, the Lady passed away.
“I think that what happened should make you think about the rules of privacy that your company adheres to,” writes Fabretti Cucu. “In general, I share your approach, but I think Apple should offer some solutions in exceptional cases like mine.”
Fabretti says that he gave the iPhone to his son 9 months before his death, and that the son allowed his father to access the phone by writing a fingerprint to him - but this entry is erased if the phone is turned off and on again.
