My position all along has been that the government should have given the phone to Apple and Apple should have returned the phone as they received it, along with a transcript of its contents.  Apple wouldn't have to reveal their trade secrets and encryption algorithm, nor would they be seen as interfering with a terrorism investigation.  I suspect that is exactly what ended up happening and the "third party" is just a cover story, although it leaves Apple with a bit of a black eye.
