Since Apple intends to appeal from the court ruling, the appeal will go initially to the 9th Judicial District Court of Appeals. The scenario that I foresee will be that the somewhat liberal appellate court rules in favor of Apple. An appeal to the Supreme Court, currently with 4 conservative and 4 slightly more liberal judges will result at best in a 4 to 4 ruling, which leaves standing the lower appellate ruling. In short, Apple wins.

As pointed out in a New York Times article today, there are other ways that the contents of the phone in question might be determined, such as checking the phone data records of Verizon, the service provider. This may have been done already, without obtaining much relevant information, suggesting that the FBI is on a fishing expedition to try to uncover something – anything – that might help explain what happened.
