How the fuck is that a response to anything regarding your "solution" of allowing anyone with physical access to a device to reset a passcode, after you've condemned to being nothing more than basic BIOS lock on a 90s logic board?
Then YOU figure it out. You figure out how to keep Apple and the Feds happy.
1) Now this is my responsibly and/or fault because I pointed out the shortcoming in your plan?
2) Why do you think there is a solution that will keep both happy? From my PoV, which includes considerable time working in the field, there is no middle-ground solution when dealing with digital security. There is no slippery slope, only a ledge. It's either assumed to be secure or known to be insecure, and you need to always assume someone(s) smarter and/or diligent than you are looking for and/or have found a hole to exploit. For all we know iOS 9.x can be jailbroken and/or the PIN bypassed right now.
In conclusion, this means that the only correct solution is for a company to work to continue to make their system more secure, not build in any backdoor methods for anyone.
