Odd how long it took them to get into a locked iPhone only a few

I felt at the time that that's what they want us to believe, so as to
spare Apple's blushes for co-operating.

Several problems.

The hardware would wipe the memory if more than "n" unsuccesful
attempts were made to access/crack the phone.

Apple had/have the abilty to do it and, quite correctly IMHO, were
not prepared to share that abilty with the CIA/FBI.

Apple were happy to take the phone, extract the data and return both
to the CIA/FBI.

As I see it the CIA/FBI wanted more than just the data on the phone,
they really wanted the abilty to crack apples.

i.e. they wanted their own back door introduced into the system.
