Two questions that I still have on this:

(1) Does the public accept that the FBI is even telling the truth on this (i.e., did they actually "break into" this iPhone)?

(2) If they did gain access to the iPhone's info, was it actually through the use of a vulnerability, or did they discover some other info that led them to the passcode?

And if they gained access, did they have it all along and lie about it all along? I suspect it is a career-limiting maneuver to prosecute the FBI.

Main stream media seemingly prints anything said by any government official as fact, even when it is dubious at best.
