What? Apple will just give them a signing key or, more likely, build a portal for law enforcement to use. If they can provide those tools to authorized repair centers they’ll have to give them to the government when compelled.

- easton 5y ago> they’ll have to give them to the government when compelled. Says who? The whole bruhaha in the San Bernardino case was that Apple would not create a custom version of iOS that would bypass the passcode system. If what you say is true, the FBI could've just compelled them to hand over the root CA for signing iOS builds, built a custom iOS iPSW that's pre-jailbroken (as was a thing in the years before the bootrom became more locked down), and been done.
