I have to respectfully disagree here. There are bugs in iOS, iPhones and pretty much everything. It would be naive and foolish to think that any electronic device you use doesn't have bugs.
It would also be remiss to think that people aren't looking for the vulnerabilities, people like Stefan Esser have plenty of research documenting the security mechanisms and flaws in iOS, and in the hardware. People have crawled over the hardware and software documenting everything, looking for bugs. People have bugs we haven't heard about because they put the time in to go down the avenues that lead nowhere in order to find them. The people that would find these bugs have a deep knowledge and understanding of the internals of the devices in question, and some suspicion of how they would be applied in this situation. They are not people who would go from zero knowledge to chasing 0day without at least a decent lead as to what the FBI's third party did.
The thing is, the FBI are not obligated to hand over their bugs, nor are the third party. It's the third party's trick, they found it, if they want to keep it it's their right to do so.
Asserting that somehow because someone has specific 0day (designed to bypass unlocks when the phone is in their physical possession for an extended period of time) and doesn't want to share makes us all less secure is incredibly ingenuous and a logical fallacy at best.
