Who cares about marketshare?

It is about the money.

2.2 million Apple Watches is about $1.1 BILLION in revenue.

Apple is willing to help so long as it doesn't compromise the security of every iPhone on Earth like the FBI wanted.  So no back doors.

The Department of Justice and FBI are such liars. They are also lazy - as described by Apple in its arguments.

The judge wants Apple to get data out of the phone. All you jailbreakers out there, is this even possible without wiping the iPhone? Is there any way to plug an iPhone into a computer and make an image of the complete flash drive? I'm asking because I don't think so but I'm not sure if the jailbreakers can do this.

Sure you can get a copy of the encrypted data onto an external hard drive.

That is the easy part.

The hard part is actually decrypting the data.  This may take 200 years.

Obviously, the FBI did not bother to ask the NSA for help.  You bet the NSA has computers that can decrypt the data in 50 years.

Interesting, there seems to have been more toward Apple then Google, especially in the North East.

Apple is on a different level, a different league with its security scheme. I can see why the Govt. struggles to access data from an iPhone compared to an Android phone.

Apple protects its customers privacy more than Google.  Google has no interest in encrypting email for example since this would prevent Google from reading your email so it can make ads for you. Sooner than later Apple will encrypt its emails.
