Good. I don’t have an Apple phone but I applaud them for standing up to the notion that the government gets to have access to everything “just in case” they want it.
And, of course, they’d NEVER abuse their ability to read everyone’s mail...right?
The feds didn’t just want access, some key that Apple had created, they wanted to force Apple engineers to create a program to crack their own encryption. Basically they wanted to put a gun barrel to the heads of Apple employees and force them to work for the government, not only for free but to their own detriment.

no, they have not. you can’t name one specific incidence because there is no specific incidence. The spying sky, chicken little is not falling
Diogenes, would this set a precedent for Apple to use in resisting the FBI? The FBI in CA may have a stronger case because there was Islamic terrorism involved. Other forms of what I consider terrorism can be just as bad or even worse.
