Backdoor is not what is not mentioned today but it is what will be sought when Apple does make an unbreakable phone.<p>If a loudly media backed ruling to force Apple to comply with the FBI is then followed by Apple making a phone which makes it impossible to comply with such requests in the future, it will much easier to get legislation or rulings requiring the all phones have an inbuilt backdoor.<p>This is why the FBI is forcing Apple specifically to do what they or another organization (eg McAfee) might do. Especially since the phone in question, while spectacular from a media perspective, probably has very little interesting on it.
