This case is NOT about getting information from THAT phone. That is a ruse.

It is about creating a permanent backdoor into everybody's phone.

What is interesting is in past, Cook has said "we cannot decrypt data", "there is no backdoor".

He is not denying they could make a special iOS and install it on any phone and bypass the wipe/delay features.

hmmmm

I believe they cannot decrypt it without the passcode. But the FBI wants to brute force it. That means trying every possible passcode until they find the one that works.

Normally, the data would be erased after 10 failed attempts. That is the part the FBI wants Apple to bypass.
