Some random thoughts

* Apple wins big. First, they beat off the FBI warrant, second
everyone with less than a 5s has to buy a new phone.

* The new phone might still be crackable by someone who has the tools
to reverse the secure enclave. But Apple isn't one of the parties that
can do that.

* FBI might in future be able to subpoena information to use it for
making a break attempt against the secure enclave.

* If your security depends on someone else refusing to obey a
subpoena, change your security.

* If their security depends on you refusing to obey a subpoena, get another job.
