#1 Likely story. A convenient excuse to get out of a losing test case. As they say, discovery is a cast iron B!tC#, and the federal judges are getting less impressed by the magic "National Security" invocation.

#2 You would think cracking an iPhone would be child's play for our techno hotshots at the FBI, CIA and NSA.

Really? had to ask Apple for help? That's embarrassing.

#5 Nguard has the truth of it.

FBI has been lying from the start. This was all about using a terrorism case to get a court to force Apple to do the FBI's work for them. With that precedent set, 'law enforcement' would have routinely used it to get phones unlocked in child support and parking ticket cases. When the case started going against them, the FBI ran like frightened girls.
