Well, 10 failed attempts doesn't necessarily hold water anymore.

Wasn't that whole "Can the FBI convince Apple to unlock this iPhone" case solved by backing up the NAND memory and constantly reflashing it after the 10 attempts were used up?

I imagine the same process can be applied in this case too

Things have changed in the iPhone 5s, you can't bypass the unlock limit by desoldering a NAND chip anymore.
