Re: To be clear

Do you have the slightest technical idea of what you are suggesting?

You're pulling words out of something (I'm being polite), stringing them randomly together in the off chance it might make some sort of sense and failing miserably.

The iPhone has somewhat better security than a being a simple disk image. Go read up on what Apple have done (and the iPhone 5 is different to the later models in that its not quite so secure) and then come back and ask a grown up question. This is not trivial stuff, Apple has put a lot of time into this to make it difficult (but not impossible) to break into an iPhone. The code signing is a key element and only Apple (and probably the NSA) can do this. The NSA will not want to admit it, and certainly not to the FBI hence this charade.

Back to the main point, go read up on the security model on the iPhone and then come back and post something sensible.
