The DoJ is just re-iterating what everyone knows, which is that Apple can push software updates to a phone.

That does not in any way explain why Apple should be compelled to write new software, that they would not otherwise choose to write, before pushing it as an update.

Apple retained the ability to push updates to improve the performance and security of products, not to make it easier to hack them. There is a difference!

Apple can push software updates to a locked phone without the owner's permission.

Nobody else can.

That's a big difference.
