The question Apple would like to avoid is if, in the future, creating such a backdoor-resistant OS will be illegal. iOS 9.2.1 (the latest pre-ruling release) is legal; however, any future releases of the OS with this capability may be considered a circumvention of or non-compliance with the ruling.

I utterly oppose any measure to curtail my right to privacy. Arguing about the technical whatnots, and who did what when, as I've done here, is a trap, to better obscure the fundamentals. And I fell for it. So thank you. I know it feels like restating obvious. But I needed to be reminded what's at stake here.
