Is apple pretending there's no backdoor to their iPhone?

Several years ago they hired ex cyber security for NSA, admitted to having the possibility of tracking and monitoring iPhones after whistle blowers came out of the woodwork, is this turned down request to a backdoor by the Feds a hoax to have us believe that there's no backdoor? How has apple been able to recover repair if there was lol

The FBI had a go at the phone but they changed the password, so now there's no access. It is good to know a phone is secure if it falls into the wrong hands.

Does not hurt to try, I guess if ppl forget all the spy stories already why not try no?

There's always a back door. Apple are stalling trying to hide behind supposed technicalities

We're always told the least possible.

Who knows. Apple say it is no back door, but there's always a back door
