But it exists already! The fact that Apple can write a backdoor means there already is a back door. Apple is just refusing to open it, which I'm not sure they have a legal standing to do.
The fact that they would have to write some software or whatever is irrelevant. It's no different than if they already had a button they could press to make the phone hackable.
