Holy shit, man. I... wow. You’ve spun yourself stupid.
The device was already locked/erased/bricked/scrambled/pick-your-word. The FBI admitted to attempting to unlock it, and it was erased. That’s what it does, it erases the contents of the phone by scrambling them and resetting the file table on the EEPROM. Do you understand basic abstraction in a computer system?
It didn’t matter if Apple did what you’re saying they were asked, the device was already bricked. Don’t you get that? Changing the number of tries or timing between tries wouldn’t have accomplished anything, the device was already useless. At that point, the ability to retrieve the data would require that they reproduce the cryptographic key required to unscramble the data on the user partition which would’ve required they use their IP to attempt to reverse the damage done. Since they’ve PUBLICLY stated, as per the articles I referenced, that they CANNOT HELP, this is all a moot point. There’s absolutely nothing they could’ve done to help, and being compelled to do so would’ve solved nothing.
Seriously man, read what we’re posting. You’re a braying jackass at this point who’s refusing to read the technical facts germane to this conversation. You’re just repeating “did you read the court filing?” The court filing is useless and a waste of time if you understand the basics of the device and software, which you have demonstrated you do not.
This does not conform to the facts.

No it was not. From where did you get this completely erroneous information? If you do not even know this basic fact, why am I even discussing this with you? You obviously are not up to speed on this issue.

The irony in this statement is highly amusing.
