Doesn’t Apple have a front door to change your phone at the FBI behest? Weren’t they already able to upload data (telemetry etc)? It doesn’t make sense to pretend that there was an existing state where Apple couldn’t get data off your phone if the FBI ordered surveillance.

There was a huge court case about Apple refusing to update the OS of a particular phone that was in fbi possession in order for the fbi to see its encrypted contents. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93Apple_encryption_d...
