    Apple Has Not Unlocked 70 iPhones For Law Enforcement

    "...the government never says Apple unlocks devices, but rather that it bypasses the lock to extract the information."

Oh. Much different.

This smells like an obvious case of Tech Crunch trading positive coverage for future access. Otherwise, why go all that way to pick such a flimsy semantic bone? Why spend 700 words to say, "Apple never picked the lock, they just smashed in the window so the state could get in!"
