Jaromir Miko After US Attorney General William Barr called on Apple to help investigators unlock the iPhones of the Pensacola base shooter, the company is responding to the call as expected. He does not intend to create a backdoor in his devices, but at the same time adds that the FBI is actively helping with the investigation and providing everything it can.

Amaya Toman “We were devastated to learn of the tragic terrorist attack on members of the US military at Pensacola Air Force Base in Florida on December 6th. We have the utmost respect for law enforcement and regularly assist law enforcement in investigations across the US. When law enforcement agencies ask us for help, our teams work around the clock to provide them with all the information we have.
We reject the claim that Apple will not assist in the investigation of the events in Pensacola. Our responses to their requests were timely, thorough and ongoing. In the first hours after receiving the request from the FBI on December 6th, we produced a large amount of information related to the investigation. Between December 7 and 14, we received six more requests and in response provided information including iCloud backups, account information, and transaction data from multiple accounts.
We responded promptly to each request, often within hours, and shared information with the FBI offices in Jacksonville, Pensacola and New York. The requests resulted in many gigabytes of information that we turned over to investigators. In any case, we have provided all the information available to us.
It wasn't until January 6th that the FBI asked us for additional help - a month after the attack. It was only then that we learned of the existence of a second iPhone that was related to the investigation and the FBI's inability to access iPhones. It wasn't until January 8th that we received a subpoena for information related to the second iPhone, which we responded to within hours. Early application is critical for accessing information and finding alternative solutions.
We continue to work with the FBI and our engineering teams just recently received a call to provide additional technical assistance. Apple has the utmost respect for the FBI's work and we will work tirelessly to assist in the investigation of this tragic attack on our country.
We have always emphasized that there is no such thing as a back door for good people only. Backdoors can be exploited by those who threaten our national security and the security of our customers' data. Today, law enforcement has access to more data than at any time in our history, so Americans don't have to choose between weakened encryption and successful prosecutions. We believe encryption is vital to protecting our homeland and our users' data."

So the entire backup from iCloud, which contains everything that was on the phone, can be put here without a problem, right? Isn't the crap about some kind of security all the same??
It's different if Apple itself gives them the data than if there were a backdoor that could basically be used by anyone who got to it. When the data is given to them by Apple, it is not a security risk for all Apple users. Think a little.
