This is an iPhone 5C, which does not have the &quot;secure enclave&quot; feature, and it isn&#x27;t even clear helps as Apple has stated to reporters that it is possible to do what the FBI wants, so we know the software on that component must be mutable. If it was <i>actually</i> impossible to do the thing the FBI wanted them to do then we would not even be having this discussion today: Apple would just say &quot;can&#x27;t, sorry&quot; and the FBI would be forced to move on with their lives as nothing Apple could do would help them get access to the device.
