Apple got tired of being on call every time someone wanted them to open up there phone, so they did something most companies don’t do! They wrote there own software so even they can’t hack it. There simply is no way for Apple to open this phone. The only way is to upgrade the phone with a new op-system update. The US Government is trying to force Apple to write software that a private company refuses to write.
It’s analogous to a safe company being told by the FBI, every safe you make must have a key that you must give to us.
Was John Roberts right or wrong when he said, american citizens are not citizens in good standing unless they purchase a product at the insistence of the government?
That is an incorrect characterization of it. If a private company refuses to write such code, that is because they cannot, because an update requires a valid Apple signature, and nobody else can create one.

That is nonsense that does not conform to the facts at all, so far as I have been able to determine. Unfortunately it is getting repeated all over the D@mned internet, and before it's over, everyone is going to believe it.
Off topic but close, and a fun read are the stories about Richard Feynman,the safecracker!
