And Apple can destroy the created software also that helped them unlock that one iPhone.
Info retrieved...software and iPhone destroyed.
Everyone is happy.

Do you really think if they are given a back door they will destroy it. Sure they will wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
Many of you miss the point completely. Apple is saying if we unlock this one then the process is out there. Right into the hands of terrorists. Many who say "I have nothing to hide" don't realize what an idiotic statement that is.
You guys really need to go back and read your history books, this is one of the KEY POINTS of WW2 and nazism, fascism and communism.
Unlocking any official will know your sexual history and orientation, medical history, your political affiliations, your religion, race, your causes, who your friends are, your business contacts and dealings, prototype designs, national secrets...the list is endless.
There are items in the above lists that you were sent to concentration camps, dragged out of you bed and murdered, ostracized, employment curtailed, insurance denied, wealth stolen and spied upon. Again the list is endless.
My mom's family who was upper middle class british, (she's a middle class canadian war bride) would never put a election sign on the front lawn because historically you could get lynched just for the party you supported.
People don't realize how dangerous things like FB, twitter, phones, smart TV's etc., really are and that they're are the greatest assets that the CIA, Homeland Security and terrorists could have ever dreamed of.
The brave men and women who gave their lives for freedom in WW2 and beyond are rolling in their graves.
