You'll have to excuse any naivety on my part, but is that for all devices or for <= 5C? I was under the impression that was not possible for the 6 and 6S because of the secure enclave, and that the device had to be unlocked for a firmware update to occur.

People are disputing that now; apparently Apple has hinted that they could defeat the Secure Enclave on the newer phones.

The weight of evidence is that they can update the secure enclave firmware in place, too, without losing keying material.
