I'm not buying it for a second. Having been roasted in the Congressional Hearing the FBI has every need to back down gracefully so until proven otherwise I'm inclined to believe either ..
a) they haven't cracked it at all but it's judicious to say they have
b) they attempted the crack, destroyed the data, and are desperately covering up
Whatever the truth, they haven't made any suggestion that they've learnt anything of any use to further this investigation or lead off new ones so was it worth it? Was it heck as like!

My suspicion is that Apple and the FBI settled "Out of Court" and we'll just say it was an unidentified source. Apple can go on selling your phones and the FBI can chase their rabbits. This all will go away by week's end and the selfies can continue on.
The smartphone target market is about as blindly apathetic as can possibly be. This is good for both the FBI and Apple.

I really do not understand all the fuss.
The FBI needs to access the data, Apple provide them with the data, period.
Privacy protection from Apple ? mwawawahhh. To protect a terrorist ? mwamwaaaawawawaaawawahhh.

The rumour mill is saying that its a simple case of a NAND mirroring attack. You remove the NAND chips from the board and then monkey about with them before re-applying them - most likely by simply soldering a socket to the board instead and then simply plugging/unplugging them.
Here's a demo of the technique: NAND Mirroring Concept Demo[^]
Pretty low-tech when you think about it. You can buy a (cheap-n-nasty) reflow workstation for a couple of hundred bucks and the rest of the equipment is worth about the same. No need for an SEM or any of that kind of malarky.

You mean they finally tried the word scrawled on the back as the password?

According to one news feed, Apple have aske dthe FBI how they did it so they can fix the encryption.
Hmmm... I wonder what The FBI's response will be.....
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

They should just sue the FBI if they don't tell them

Dad science - the answer isn't simply wrong . . . it's far more convoluted than that.[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
