They can't get to the data without decripting it. Anything that Apple could create to decrypt the data could be used on other phones. They will have created a backdoor. Not gonna happen unless the government forces it and then the whole world loses... Major.
So are you saying that hillary, obama and the fbi are all wrong on this?
"Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton has previously called for a "Manhattan-like Project" to address the issue of encryption, in reference to top-secret efforts by the US in developing nuclear weapons during World War Two.
She said in December she hoped law enforcement agencies would work together in partnership with technology companies to provide access to encrypted technology used by terrorists.
FBI director James Comey has been critical of Google and Apple in recent months for creating new encryption technology that allows "terrorists to go dark".
But Jonathan Godfrey, vice president of the App Association which represents companies in the mobile app community, highlights the importance of maintaining "the strongest security to keep our most sensitive, private data safe" as smartphone and tablet consumers increasingly expect access to their most important data through the cloud."
It's an interesting issue to be sure.
What can I say, even a broken clock is right a couple of times a day:

It sounds like the fbi just wanted the access passcode, not an encryption bypass?
