I believe that a compromise will be reached. I don't blame Apple for trying to safeguard iPhones' premier status as secure devices, especially in light of the fact that most iPhones are sold to other countries. If they agree to unlock this iPhone it will make it harder to say no to other countries.

My understanding is that Apple Pay generates a unique security code each time that it is used, making it more secure to use than only using credit cards. I would think that Apple should be able to create a way that will only unlock this particular iPhone. While this will probably put all iPhones at greater risk of being cracked it does seem like a plausible compromise.
