Iphone
For product that is made there is another product made to break that product.  I don't know why its such a big fuss?  It is just a high profile case so the FBI took a unique approach to the situation and the media ate it all up and did the talking for them.  Whats the longest passcode you can make 6 digits? 2 words, Brute Force & Dictionary Attack.  I was gunna offer to help'em but only a fool would truly think the FBI couldnt accomplish that inhouse themselves.

Re: iphone
Yes, there is no surprise in it. They may simply bypassed the lock screen in iOS. Latest iOS update migh fix this issue

The iphone's lock screen has consistently been insecure even with any iOS updates. There is no doubt in my mind that it was simply bypassed.

Apple Phone
I have said from day 1, hire a white hat hacker, give $5,00 and a case of Mountain Dew and you will have all the data you want off the phone the next morning. I sure hope Apple plugs the leak in their OS.

Not McAfee?
Well, the third party likely wasn't John McAfee -- else he'd be bragging about it all over the news stations.  ;)

Suspension of Disbelief
To believe that they could not do this from day one is naive at best.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
