There's only been one case like that, so it's not really useful to say you've never heard of one for the Android. And they eventually did hack in, and the firm that did it offers its services to anyone who can pay. During the whole incident there were quite a few police depts that said they had a lot of phones, both Android and iPhone, that they were hoping to get a ruling allowing them to force the manufacturers to make it easier to access.

Of course they managed to hack in before a ruling came down. If iPhone does become unhackable in the future, we'll get a ruling, and if it's in the government's favor it won't matter how secure your phone is.
