Your view conflicts with views of others who are knowledgable on security matters. If you are correct, then the issue is solved easily, except for the fact that it establishes a precedent that Apple would have to create a similar unique software program to be used at any time, on any device specified by law enforcement. This precedent of course would defeat the security benefits that iPhone users now receive. You're right that the issue is related to marketing concerns, but many users or potential users of iPhones see greater security issues that relate to the whole idea of big brother having a right to watch you at any time. That's not in accord with the foundations of U.S. democracy, but it does reveal a certain devolution that in times of stress leads to an acceptance of the principles of an autocratic society.

As Churchill stated, democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.
