"...could likely unlock the phone without Apple's help..."

"...security researchers....believe that the FBI....could likely unlock the phone without Apple's help, using either third-party engineers or tools developed by the NSA."

I made this exact point several weeks ago and most commentards were arguing with me.

"...third-party engineers..." = the sort of CCC.de hackers of embedded hardware

I can only encourage those that still instinctively disagree with this point to please spend some time reviewing the device security topic presentation videos on the CCC.de Media repository. Such numerous amazing examples can assist with adjusting one's mental boundary of what's likely possible and what's perhaps still impossible. A few hours that is an easy and entertaining adjustment to an obviously-incorrect mental construct.
