But Apple would still need to have the court orders for each user. Some people are suggesting that Apple would create this back-doored code, and hand it to the FBI, who would then use it to access any data they want without bothering with court orders. That doesn't seem to be what the FBI are asking for. |

Yes, and Apple doesn't want this as a precedent. It does away with one of their go-to selling points these days: security/privacy.
If device security can be surreptitiously undone by an OTA upgrade, what's really the point? I'm sure the brilliant legal minds at the DoJ can come up with creative interpretations to enable the next stage, which would be to do this in bulk as a special point-release.
