This has become truly ridiculous. No one believes there's anything of use on that phone yet the FBI continues to persist to try to force Apple. If they want the key and the source code, give it to them. They're obviously so fucking incompetent they wouldn't be able to do anything with them. I assume Apple can revoke any keys remotely so give them the key and revoke it immediately. This isn't at all about anything that happened in San Bernardino anymore and it's just the FBI being the fucking, repressive assholes that they've always been. In fact, this is the exact reason for having crypto on the phone. It's to avoid the fucking assholes of the FBI getting to your data because they're the criminals that Apple refers to when they're talking about protecting their customers.

Let's assume that the FBI is truly as incompetent as their recent actions portrays. The question we should ask ourselves is who would they share the source code with? NSA, MI6, CIA, IDF? Are these guys incompetent? Would the Chinese not simply pick it off the safe?

  They are or are making themselves seem incompetent technically (difference is irrelevant in this case), but legally they are very competent and they know exactly what they're doing. This type of sharing is a given, whether intentional or not. In fact, using the backdoored OS for other cases, in other organizations, and for other purposes is their primary objective here. The murder cases are simply a cover they can pander to the idiot masses willing to believe such stupidities. That's why they're calling them 'terrorism' when every single other mass shooting does not get that label nor this level of 'investigation.' To get this backdoored OS to the CIA, NSA, and other objectionable organizations is the objective. Chinese, probably not. But it'll still get into their hands, that's guaranteed.

Why do you think they can revoke the keys?

  I assume that this would be a feature as a protection against accidental or forced release of the private keys.
