I understand Apple's position, although I thought it quite ridiculous. The owner of the phone was dead and no longer in need of his privacy. He had committed a heinous crime and the government wanted to see if he was a member of a terrorist cell. Apple could have taken the phone and did what was needed. It didn't have to be a public spectacle. If they just did as they had been asked, instead of making a federal case of it, no one would have ever been the wiser.
It wouldn't surprise me if a former Apple developer didn't step in and help.
