> They could theoretically decrypt any iPhone they're given with new firmware but they don't want to. This is untrue at some technical level: Apple is currently unable to break AES-256. The San Bernadino case was about having Apple create and sign new firmware that would enable a brute force attack - which could easily be unsuccessful. I don't believe the Secure Enclave found in newer models even allows for a brute force attack (enforcing some delay, among other things) from BFU state.
