Why shouldn't it happen? As long as the guy is a suspected criminal and there is a court order from a judge.
In the past, Apple has extracted data from iPhones under lawful court orders, but the company stopped storing encryption keys for devices running iOS 8 or later. As a result of this stronger protection, Apple cannot assist the FBI without circumventing iOS security and putting the privacy and safety of its customers at risk.
Why do you hate freedom? Why are you with the terrorists?
Excuse me? I support every way defeating them and part of that is being able to unlock their phones.

Well, the first court order said that Apple should help unlocking the phone, charge all the cost, and then destroy everything they did to not let it fall into the wrong hands.
If Apple gives in, then the poor guy given the job will have to do it thirteen times. Write the code, test it very, very carefully to not mess up the phones, unlock one phone, destroy the code, and start all over again.
Seriously, it shows that Tim Cook was absolutely 100% right.
I don't really think it's fair to criticize an opinion here. both groups just have a different idea of what's best for America....don't fight each other.
8. Last resort, ask Siri. Lol
Note: the backdoor the fbi wants is without the mandatory 80ms delay.4 digit passcode is 10,000 combinations. With the artificial delay and the erasure after 10 failed attempts, you could hire an intern to crack such a phone within a day or two. 6 digit passcode takes obviously 100 times longer. Still doable if you really, really want the data. 8 random digits and uppercase / lowercase letter, and it takes about 500,000 years even if they build some hardware that taps the numbers at the maximum rate possible.
There is a minimum time of 0.08 seconds per attempt. That's how long it takes to check any passcode, assuming that it takes zero time to enter a passcode. So you just multiply 0.08 by the number of combinations. My number was 62 (10 digits + 26 lowercase + 26 uppercase) raised to the 8th power (8 letters and digits). Apple says "5 1/2 years for six numbers and digits". 8 would be 62 x 62 times worse.
Okay so everyone who said this would be a one time deal...it's your turn. I'm grabbing popcorn because this got a whole lot more interesting.
I thought if there was anything on the iCloud APPLE had to give it up because apple maintains the iCloud storage server? I'm willing to be wrong about this....This pretty much destroys the FBI supporters number 1 argument - that this is just for case and one phone. This in conjunction with the iCloud backup screw up, the FBI and Justice department are really making themselves look like incompetent fools.
