From what I remember (unless things have changed) the terrorist phone was unlocked, and an FBI agent accidentally locked it. Then, The feds wanted Apple to not only unlock it again, they wanted the ability to unlock every iPhone.

No, it was locked but Apple could have unlocked it with the Terrorist’s Apple ID, but the San Bernardino County IT Department CHANGED the AppleID at the FBI’s suggestion before the called in Apple which LOCKED the data on the phone by erasing the encryption key. After that the only thing even the third party could get access to was generic data when they finally got access, such as address book and phone logs. But this was the guy’s work iPhone and all they found is what they already knew: he only used it for work related activities. . . Plus a couple of incoming calls from his terrorist wife. Nothing else.
