I think the story here (for HN readers) is that Apple can unlock the iPhone; isn't it supposed to be encrypted? Does Apple having the capability to unlock it mean that the encryption is backdoored? (Other commenters have speculated that it's sloppy reporting, and that Apple gave them the iCloud backup contents, not the contents of the phone itself.)
