>Even more embarassing for someone like the FBI beating the chests about the valuable information that they absolutely have to have access to, but to find out there was nothing of value on the device. That claim by the FBI was obviously made in bad faith to begin with for the San Bernardino shooting. Of course the shooter didn't store some kind of incriminating communications or plans on his work phone, there was never any rational explanation for why he would have done that. They destroyed their personal phones entirely but didn't even bother to reset their work phone. Add to this the fact that a law enforcement screw up is what originally locked them out of a recent iCloud backup to begin with and they already had access to everything else that was in iCloud before they reset the password. It was painfully obvious that they were pushing hard behind "But TERRORISM!!!" to either set a precedent or get a signed build of iOS that bypassed any protection from brute force attacks.
