Since iOS 9 debuted in September, Apple already has addressed more than 70 security issues through updates, according to mobile security provider NowSecure. Such figures give experts confidence that there always will be a way in.

On the other hand, Google and Samsung are more than willing to help Feds break into Apple's iPhone, even though publicly they pretend to back Apple

Eric Schmidt, Chairman of Alphabet (Google) will share Silicon Valley's secrets with the Feds for his DOD appointment.

The Feds obviously want Samsung & Google to help them break into the iPhone.
