I thought I read somewhere recently that there was a private party helping to show the government how to do this and that was the reason (speculation) why they were backing down on forcing Apple to do this. Anyone else see the same thing?

This, from USA Today...
Yup, an Israeli company, Cellebrite, has supposedly suggested a way to do it . . . but it is experimental. It apparently requires lots of very expensive equipment and will only work on iPhones with A6 or older processors. . . so people with A7 processors equipped with the Secure Element won't be effected, only those with an A6 and the Encryption Engine approach to security will be vulnerable to a very expensive one-off at a time method of breaking in need worry. If it works. The FBI says they are not sure it will work.
