They don't need a search warrant.

Once it is in their possession, for whatever cheap and loose justification, they will open it.

Your argument is under the assumption that they are not corrupt.

'Corrupt' has a very specific meaning. It does not mean 'without morals', 'bad', or 'evil'. Whether or not the police or FBI will unlock this iPhone is most likely completely unrelated to whether or not they are corrupt.
