> Unfortunately for the FBI, Artan’s lifeless fingerprint didn’t unlock the device (an iPhone 5 model, though Moledor couldn’t recall which. Touch ID was introduced in the iPhone 5S). In the hours between his death and the attempt to unlock, when the feds had to go through legal processes regarding access to the smartphone, the iPhone had gone to sleep and when reopened required a passcode, Moledor said.

Except the FBI probably won't make that mistake again. They'll wake up a judge and expedite the process, citing this exact case as to why they need to be granted the subpoena. from there it's not that hard to make a jig that constantly does some sort of action so the phone never goes to sleep.
