So the FBI not only screwed up, they REALLY SCREWED UP.

I am beginning to wonder if there was no passcode on this phone at all. . . and if the authorities added it to set this all up. How else was the AppleID CHANGED while in government custody???? If they had the password to change the AppleID, they had the password to get into the iPhone.

And that means they also have the password NOW.

This is getting more and more interesting.

And how does Apple knowit was changed? And why didn't Tim Cook mention this earlier?

It’s also worth noting that this was the terrorist’s work-issued phone (which is why the country was able to bollix up the cloud access by following the FBI’s instructions). It almost certainly contains nothing of any relevance, with any terrorism-related communications from the (evil, yes; imbecile, no) perp going over some other phone which was well and truly destroyed prior to the attack.
