If there is an unlocked backdoor, not only government would be able to get in the unlocked door.
It wouldn't be unlocked but unlockable.

Apple has the ability to unlock the phone. So in theory it's already hackable.

Anything can be - but you can make it expensive in time and money to be able to do so which is why ID thieves go for easy targets

In the past Apple has refused the government's insistence to unlock their iPhones.
70 warrants since 2008 to unlock phones, the latest being October 2015 for a meth dealer.

I suggest Apple comply with the Federal Court order and decrypt that damn phone. I do not see any place that a company can disregard that order and keep its registration as a business. If Apple continues to stonewall pull their license and stop all trading. In essence execute the corporation. Constitutional protection of privacy applies to living people and NOT to a dead terrorist's phone.

This is not a lone incident. The government has asked Apple to do this in the past for even trivial trials of meth dealers.
