The UK Home Office wanted to keep the legal case against Apple a secret to avoid compromising national security.
The judge rejected the Home Office's request, ensuring that the trial will be available for public viewing.
Apple is known for prioritizing user privacy and data protection, while the Home Office is willing to sacrifice privacy for the sake of national security.
The case raises questions about the extent to which governments should be involved in data security, with Apple arguing that granting access to encryption codes puts the broader user base at risk.
