Basically Apple created the current problem by making it possible to push new firmware to a locked phone. I&#x27;m not saying that Apple is worse than industry standard, just that the backdoor already exists.<p>So what prevents the FBI from asking Apple to have a team visit the Apple offices, get access to all code that runs on the iPhone and the docs and signing keys?<p>The team will then unlock the phone and leave with nothing but the unlocked phone.<p>All of this, get Apple to appear as a third party witness already exists in the law.
