You're really missing the point. Yes the only relevant code that is going to be run on that device will code signed by Apple. I don't think FBI will have direct access to this "key".

The FBI wants Apple to create "malicious" code/update/software version that would allow for multiple decryption attempts among other things. Apple CAN comply with these requests, probably easily. However, by doing so they will destroy trust in Apple signed code and set a precedent.

It doesn't matter WHO has the key because Apple will be acting in proxy.

I don't think you are responding to my post? At least I can't see which part of my post you comment, that is, what I am missing.

The issue here is if All Writs is a good legal basis for the precedent of "change your product."

Ah. I'm conflating multiple threads. I was referring to this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11157666

I agree with you about All Writs, I don't see any precedent for "change your product". Thanks for pointing my mistake out.
