The statement assumes the attacker knows what they're doing when they have access to the phone.

To be fair, the FBI did get into the phone, and could have much sooner had they not wasted their time fighting Apple.

They got into an iPhone5C. If that phone was a 5S (and the FBI screwed up the MDM process just like they did) they would be out of luck.
