Re: FBI had paid approximately $1m for the crack
Maybe.
That could have been a single payment for them to carry out a specific job - like flying to DC and demonstrating the hack.
It could have been a fee for preparing the paperwork for the court.
It could have been the fee for that single instance of Farook's phone.
$15,000 for hacking an operating system that even someone like the FBI can't get into is ridiculously low.
