All Apple’s writs are belong to US*

"Here’s the key thing to understand about the current situation: It is not about encryption. No part of Judge Pym’s order comes close to requiring Apple to decrypt, assist in decrypting, or weaken the encryption used on the iPhone. Rather, Apple has designed its products with an easily enabled self-destruct feature. That is, they have designed their products to destroy evidence that the government routinely would otherwise have legitimate need for and access to. Judge Pym’s order requires Apple to assist the FBI in disarming the booby traps that Apple designed and distributed."
