I can commiserate somewhat with the county IT guy. You can find yourself off a cliff fast in the world of Apple device security management. (Ever bought a used Mac and got into the firmware lock hell?).
Still, on a (very) high-profile criminal case, I think I'd have not changed anything on the device and enlisted the help of the big boys.

"The phone was county property"
Yet many on this board think the court can order Apple to conduct a search on this device that they do not own and had nothing to do with this crime.

The phone was county property Doesn't matter. The article makes it sound as if it does.
But it doesn't.

Why isn’t the FBI taking the County IT department to court and force them to unlock the iPhone? /sarc

since the county owns the phone, why could not the county take it to Apple and request it be opened?
what this means is that if I lost my pass code, the phone becomes worthless because I can’t take it to Apple for recovery
