My guess is that a new install can remove the brute force protections. I don't understand why the FBI is demanding that Apple do this. I feel like if the government wants to hack it - go for it. Hack away. It is not Apple's (or insert any other company here) job to invade people's lives. I'm pretty happy that Timmy boy is flexing his muscles like this.That is, an OS installed by Apple can circumvent encryption on the phone. This would mean that Apple does have a backdoor.
