content: All the legal issues we saw in the media was about the rare case that a phone had not been read by law enforcement before the owner was taken in or died, and locked. And Apple only went against it because other state agencies would only allow usage of the iPhone if it had that level of security. There was no case for iPhones still in use, and none for people already being observed. Which means, law enforcement has full potential access to your phone while you use it, and will access it if they find you suspicious. Only if you die or get taken in before they monitor you, did they have a problem. And this problem was eliminated when automatic security updates could be faked to install spyware - a method even discussed in the media. The fact that the discussion stopped shows that something like this has been implemented. Google, with their Android system, never made any claims about this not happening.
