What prevents the FBI from issuing a subpoena for the signing keys and patching the existing binary?

  There is no law enabling them to do that. However, once the all writs is used to compel code creation, it surely will not stop there.

    ...I still don't understand why not: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law#United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law#United_St... I have also been wondering if this is the wrong iPhone to take a stand on since it is owned by the employer, not the dead terrorist -- and the employer wants it unlocked. But I guess this is more about forcing a company to manufacture an ad hoc backdoor than protecting the privacy of the owner of the device (my understanding is that if your employer owns the device, there is no privacy.)
