The law gets debatable here. The warrant can ultimately be served only to the owner/responsible party for the system. If apple decides that they own all iPhones, a claim they've loosely made for a long time re Flash etc. Then they could be served a warrant on the device.
If they just sold the device to someone, then the police would have to issue a warrant to that individual. My understanding is that as an individual your options are either to comply with the warrant or commit a separate crime destroying the evidence or refusing the warrant.
