At least Apple have demonstrated pushing back on a court order requiring them to fundamentally break their product’s advertised security to comply with such an order.

I’d be curious to see if WhisperSystems are prepared enough to lawyer up and fight like that. (I suspect they’d probably get NSLed like Lavabit did we won’t know about it until way later...)

According to the Snowden leaks, Apple's been a part of PRISM for quite some time.

Seems to me like the trial was a show for PR, and a win for the FBI because now a ton of people are under the impression that they can commit crimes without a trace if they have an iPhone.
