Re: What happens if ???
Wouldn't it be easier for the FBI to reverse engineer the OS so as to take out the part that wipes the phone after 10 failed password attempts?
The phone will only accept signed updates - so as well as killing the 10-tries lockout (which isn't too hard), they also need to work out Apple's private signing key (which is mathematically infeasible).
That's why they're abusing the law to try to bend Apple to their whim.
