Ideally (for the FBI), the FBI would order Apple to build a backdoor into their system. This is functionally the same as ordering Apple not to patch a known vulnerability. In turn, this is functionally the same (in the short term) as not disclosing a known vulnerability to Apple. While the article's title is misleading, the FBI might as well be taking an active role in making the iPhone less secure. In communicating to the non-technical public, insisting on elaborating the difference is being pedantic.
