(2) is implied by (1) because once Apple has created the tool to do it once (1), the government has access to it and can (and will) use that tool endlessly (2). This is why Apple refuses to create this tool to unlock 1 iPhone.<p>History has shown we cannot restrict this by implementing laws&#x2F;rules, just look at the news to see how these laws are abused right now, accessing all our private data.<p>EDIT: ok i get your point now;
I imagine the reason this &#x27;technical backdoor&#x27; exists in the first place, is because Apple wants to be able to update that part of the OS in case of bugs.
If they make it &#x27;not-updateable&#x27; the backdoor is closed but then if problems arise, bugs can&#x27;t be fixed (for example the recent Error 5&#x2F;home button bug).
