The FBI has demanded that Apple creates custom software that bypasses certain security features of the company’s iOS to allow law enforcement to brute force the passcode of the gunman’s iPhone 5C. Is this what they asked for? I keep hearing the FBI asking Apple to unlock the terrorists iphone by entering the passcode to allow them in, not create software to unlock all iphones.
Am I wrong here?

The government is asking (or demanding) that Apple write software that currently does not exist. Apple can’t just magically enter in the passcode to unlock the phone. They don’t know what the passcode is.

The govt. didn’t “ask” for anything, they showed up with a court order and said, “You work for us now.” I’d have told them to go suck it, too. The NSA could get into that phone within 20 minutes, that’s not what this is about.
