If Apple's crypto is designed well...

There is no way that even Apple can get in. This is actually fundamental for business users.

The traffic in, and out, of the phone in question is all logged somewhere else, and yields the most important information about other potential suspects, but there could easily be incriminating material on the phone.

If Apple *can* actually get in, :-( then it is best if each legal request is made really public, by going through the courts like this one, and Apple charge $1million to do it in-house to deter fraudulent or fishing access by authorities.

This is all a good argument against TouchID, because if one's finger is available...
