  If they already had all the logs of everything happening on the Internet and cell networks for that device, why even go through hacking the device?

    My understanding is that the FBI wanted to see which, if any, third party messaging services the phone's owner was using and his usernames so they could serve a subpoena to those services.

    I don't even really trust that they _did_ hack it. Could just be a safe way out when they realized apple wouldn't back down.

      This! Why does everyone believe this FBI PR bullshit? It's classic propaganda to save face.
