Not even close, but that's what Apple's hysterical propaganda claims want you to think...

1. Apple didn't "build" software encryption — they are using standard military-grade AES-256 encryption engine, like most everyone else.

2. Government / FBI has not asked Apple to crack the software or decrypt the phone.

3. Apple is deliberately defying a court order having to do with national security, to appear to care about their users' "privacy."

Here's what they are actually asked to do — it has nothing to do with encryption / decryption or wide-ranging "backdoors" or some such nonsense and it should not take more than 10 minutes for any software engineer at Apple who has the firmware's source code to create it — in fact, they woud not be able to test their phones' firmware without this "pseudo-hack":

Apple - FBI

Exactly right. Apple has been successful at spreading a lot of false propaganda, and the "guppies" have bought it.
