Actually FBI has device owner permission to access the information. There is nothing immoral here. Immoral here is Apple reaction and time wasting while there could be information to stop next terrorist attack.
The situation is like owner of a device forgetting his code and ask a phone maker to help unlock the device the user owns to get info. FBI does not ask for some backdoor or unique access key. FBI does not ask to get access to unauthorized private information.
FBI ask for Apple to not brick the phone and not erase all information while FBI tries different device locking codes—FBI does not want to crack the encryption. It is not about cracking encryption at all.
In this particular case Apple is doing wrong and it looks like a PR show. It is not about encryption, it is not about backdoor, it is not about universal key to access private information, it is not about surveillance, it is not about privacy, and it is not about unauthorized access. It's about getting to potentially life saving information that FBI has official permission to get from the device owner.
