That's my understanding as well. Further, for the iPhone 5S and later,
it has nothing to do with source code and compilers, as the security is
apparently built directly into the hardware. (To be fair, apparently
the phone in question is a 5C, and does not have the hardware security.
That doesn't change the fact that Apple [allegedly] does not have the
phone's passphrase.)
If this understanding is correct, this brings up another question. Does
the government have the power to compel a person or company to create?
That's a very slippery slope I, for one, don't want to see us go down.
I suspect this will end up going all the way to the Supreme Court.

My understanding--and Apple's representation--is that no one at Apple
actually has the tools to do this. If they develop that ability in
house then a human or humans then have those tools. This is then a de
facto compromise of the security, humans being notoriously susceptible
to corruption. What was that Machiavelli said about power?And
possession of those tools is a lot of power.

As I understand it, that is exactly what the gov is asking them for.
FBI wants Apple to decrypt and send over the data. Nothing more. No
"software on every phone" to do this. Just that ONE phone. Get the
data, then incinerate the device.

They're just saying 'hey, we have this physical device, can we give
it to you, and you get us the data off of it'?� I've got to think
that the Engineers at apple have a way to do this thought up.�
Although at the same time, If they're trying to unlock the phone,
couldn't the Gov't with it's vast resources, just simply make a bit
by bit copy of the flash chip in the phone and just go through and
try every unlock code?

Yup. Google agrees as well.
