are u sure? you need more truly source about this topic.
Words like "Couldn't they", and "I presume" indicate speculation, not certainty.
Do you have better information for us?

Re: remove the Flash
Bypass the operating system and get to Flash directly? I don't know how the device is built. The Flash could be internal to the processor.

I already covered that. It is a separate chip.
From a teardown:
Toshiba THGBX2G7B2JLA01 128 Gb (16 GB) NAND flash

The bread is not specifically designed to aid the criminal activity. Are these phones specifically bought for this feature by those intending to use it for a criminal activity? Planning to commit a crime should wave rights to privacy from the government.
I also think the FBI would like to set a history of requiring the manufacturers to comply with a warrant. How many manufacturers of phones are there? How many models? This question is bigger than just Apple.

iPhone was not 'specifically designed' to aid criminal activity. It's a privacy/security 'tool'. Like any 'tool' it can be used for more than the intended purpose.
The bread is food for the criminal. Without food the criminal could not proceed to do criminal like activities.
So, perhaps you need a fingerprint scanner in every grocery outlet to help ensure criminals don't have access to resources that allow them to continue their unjust actions.
This thread started as an inquiry as to why the FBI couldn't access the contents and has turned into a debate that is going nowhere.
What you are talking about Herschel is absolute transparency. It can't be obtained because of privacy related tech and code from Apple. You do realize that 'encryption' can be done with a pen and paper, or 3rd party apps on Android, iPhone, Windows Mobile, Linux, MacOS, etc... asking a company to make a back-door will not solve any problems and magically decrypt everything. People will simply stop using the product or start using other forms of protection.

Thanks. I missed that post. No surprise I couldn't find a data sheet for a custom part. I assume there is a way to upgrade the program of the internal processor? So what the FBI wants done can be accomplished by just a few lines of code changes. It is a question of SHOULD it be done, not IF it can be done.
There doesn't seem to be a bad argument on either side on this question. I won't be unhappy any way it turns out.
The 'back door isn't the same thing. A back door is an access around the encryption process. What the FBI is asking for here is just to undo the lockout on wrong guesses. They are not basking Apple to reveal any secrets of their software. People (criminals) may stop using the product that can be accessed by the FBI. Are legit businesses afraid of the FBI? I think not.
Are the criminals the only ones losing privacy on this question?
Those who do not encrypt are not concerned. T^hose not engaged in criminal activity are not involved. The only ones being protected by blocking the FBI's request are criminals.
