I apologize. I worded that incorrectly. They don't unlock the phones, Apple extracts the data and hands it over to law enforcement without needing to unlock it.

As taken from Apple themselves in their ever so carefully worded letter to their customers where Apple makes it very clear that they have never ever "unlocked" a phone for law enforcement (because there's no need to "unlock" the phone and instead Apple simply extract the data without needing to unlocking it). But Apple needs to make it clear that they have never ever "unlocked" a phone for law enforcement.

Even though Apple has never "unlocked" a phone for law enforcement, they have admitted themselves, on their own website, that they have extracted the data and handed it over to law enforcement agencies.

Has Apple unlocked iPhones for law enforcement in the past? No.

Of course not. Apple has never and would never do that to their customers. Their customer's privacy is ever so important to Apple and they would never do such a thing to their valued and safe customers. Which is then followed by:

under a lawful court order, we have extracted data from an iPhone.

Oh they have extracted the data and handed it over to law enforcement. But it's a good thing that if anyone asks them they can truthfully and honestly say that they have never ever "unlocked" a phone for law enforcement.

You'd think the most valuable company in the world would be just a little bit better art PR and not pull such blatant bullshit.
