They're kinda damned if they do, and damned if they don't. Help the FBI, they lose trust from their current customers and potential customers.

Stand their ground and the FBI seeks help elsewhere. If the FBI and their outside party succeed, that pretty much guarantees that a means of breaking iPhone encryption is out in the wild by second breakfast.
