great question.
The understanding i have read is that the fingerprint reader was in use.
There was a regular backup of data from the phone up till the individual
discontinued that backup shortly before the shootings. This is why the
fingerprint door may be best, it is likely most recent.
I do wonder about the specific finger however. my guess is that they
could try all ten before risking the phone data.

Maybe he chose not to activate the fingerprint reader. Even if he did, how
would you know which finger he chose? If you didn't get the fingers absolutely
right the first time, you could destroy the data on the phone.

Karen, you raise a really really good question. Why don’t they just use the
fingerprint of the phone owner. He’s dead anyway so you don’t have to worry
about his specific rights, he’s dead.:) Couldn’t they lift a print or even a
finger and just use that?
Now I really smell a rat since they had the body and had a means in.

Not only is Apple 100% correct here, the FBI is not using other doors, such as
the fingerprints of those involved.
A master key like the one the FBI desires seeing created is simply unwise to
develop. Hackers have anoth leeway, and no one should have their privacy
compromised in this fashion.
After all consider how often the government has themselves been hacked, not
only could this key be abused by the government, it could be stolen by others.
Just my take,
Karen
