Why Apple is fighting the FBI's San Bernardino investigation

This article is somewhat informative, but it doesn't explain why Apple does not assist the FBI with unlocking this one specific phone that was used by a terrorist. Not a suspected terrorist. Not an alleged terrorist. This phone was used by one of the San Bernardino shooters. It seems that Apple could assist in this specific case without endangering privacy rights generally. - JBK
