Easy:  When they open their mouths, they're lying.

This issue in this case seems to be that Apple refuses to hack the 
iphone in question in such a manner that it doesn't wipe itself after 10 
failed login attempts, and the FBI apparently doesn't have the expertise 
necessary to pull out a memory chip and make a copy of it before doing 
the hack-and-wipe.

Or perhaps there's something special about the chip that makes it 
uncopiable by that means?

There isnt a memory chip to pull in that phone.

And pulling it is completely useless when the data in it is encrypted 
anyway.

Perhaps, but your assertion was that there was no chip.  In any case, 
the issue is that the phone erases its memory after 10 attempts.  With 
the chip removed, copied, and replaced, this becomes much less of an 
issue.

There isn't one that can be pulled.

It isnt known that this phone will do that.

But still prevents a brute force attack on the passcode,
because it isnt going to be feasible to do that every
10 tries of the passcode so you get it eventually.

And you have to get the passcode to be
able to decrypt the data on the phone.

Apples public press release (I don't have a quick link but it should be 
easy to find) is a measured unemotional hear are the facts and asks for 
a public discussion. This is important for many reasons real security at 
every level. (I really like to do on line banking with a secure link).

Apple/Tim Cooks argument is it is a court order to do something that 
doesn't exist. If they obey then it makes everyon's apple products less 
secure.

It seems to me that the FBA wish to bring Apple into line with their
policy of scrapping all personal privacy.

If Apple argues it is simply impossible to crack the phone - the FBI
will create legislation to make it illegal - citing this case.

If Apple argues it is possible to crack the phone, but very difficult
and expensive - the FBI will suggest they make it easier on themselves
in future by installing an "FBI Only" back door.

If Apple argues it is possible to crack the phone, but it will damage
their reputation and sales - the FBI will promise to only use the tech
solution "in matters of national security".
And suggest judicial agreement that in future they can make direct
demands in secret to Apple - to shield Apple from customers anger.

The FBI doesn't want apple to "crack the phone".  What they want is
for apple to produce a signed firmware image of the IOS operating
software with one OS modification, such that it doesn't zap the decryption
key after 10 invalid PIN's.

Once the image is installed, the FBI can brute force the PIN.

And probably find zilch.

"We have great respect for the professionals at the FBI, and we
believe their intentions are good. Up to this point, we have done
everything that is both within our power and within the law to help

have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone."

Well,
Did the FBI make any request regarding future access to a locked
iphone ?
If not, Cook is flat out lying.
If they did, was it as represented by Cook - ie the ability for the
FBI to access data in anyones iphone  - aka backdoor.
If not - it is open the the FBI correct what Cook stated.
I believe Cook.

Of course; they're in the throes of a lawsuit.  However, consider
the virus which wrecked Iran's centrifuges.  It was designed to
apply to only that one site but is now out in the world.  Any
software which Apple develops and hands to the FBI or NSA to
crack any security will be out on the web and getting used
by the very people the FBI/NSA want to stop.

A general cracking mechanism should not be given out.  It will
happen soon enough.  The FBI can use the technique described
in this newsgroup to access the data on that, and only that,
particular phone.

people are using their phones to manage all of their assets.
if the method of cracking into the phone is availabe, all
of their wealth can be transferred to some entity--a terrorism
group or government.

Nice theory. Now try explaining why the iOS isnt.

They aren't talking about a general cracking mechanism.

Hasn’t happened with iOS. You can't even jailbreak iOS 9 systems.

Wrong.

But getting into their phone doesn’t allow you to grab their assets.

Anyone who does bank or other money transactions on an unsecure device
like a telephone is a fool that is going to be bitten and then feel a
great amount of shock.

If cracking code is produced, noone will be able to tell if their device
is secure.  So far, only Apple's marketing assures security.  If they
have to provide a general cracking code to law enforcement, noone's
phone is secure.

I understand your thinking and I would agree except this is not
about accessing that one phone.  The Apple vs FBI lawsuits have
to do with making every phone accessible.

Wrong. It is completely trivial to determine whether it is or not.

Nothing to do with marketing, its about sandboxing.

No one is requiring them to do that.

Bullshit.
