No, you're completely wrong. There's a valid warrant. The owner of the phone also consents to the search. Apple's refusal has nothing to do with any of that.
What's happening here is that Apple is claiming that it can't comply with the warrant, because encryption. The FBI is invoking the All Writs Act to try to compel Apple to brute force the weak password on the phone.
