Length

The article is just under 1300 words, which is well within the required amount of words for the mediawiki draft.

Structure

The article does include all three major components of a good article. The intro gives a good background to the case of Apple v. FBI, while providing a general idea of both sides of the court case. It does not take a stand with either of these sides. The article also contains two more sections, with one of these sections containing two subsections as well. The responses of the FBI and Apple sections both contain more of the story than just their positions in the court case; it might help the flow of the article to further develop a section about what came of the order, rather than including it within these two sections.

Clarity

The article contained a section on the ethics surrounding this event, but even without this section, the author did a good job incorporating the ethics surrounding both the FBI and Apple’s point of view.

Objective Reporting

This article touches on two major ethical issues: one being protecting the privacy of Apple product users, and the other being the idea of allowing the government to be able to access all information for safety reasons. This is a huge ethical debate, but the author did a good job in staying neutral in presenting both sides without saying one is more ethical than the other.
