My view is if you now think your phone is a security risk then don't put your whole life on your phone. It's called risk analysis and mitigation. Actually go to banks in person to do your transactions. Actually drive to stores and buy stuff. Actually call people and talk to them. Heck, you could even write letters. No one one owes you a cushy life where everything you want can be done sitting still.
That is just not the reality most people live today. Most people cannot live without putting sensitive information on a phone they carry, either due to their type of employment travel or how their job works. I suppose one could do it that way if one was a fry cook.
anyone notice how the time to pay a bill keeps getting shorter and shorter?

This is good and bad but the whole thing makes me suspicious. The good -- it's a win for citizens and for companies. The bad -- if true, our phones are clearly not secure. If the FBI or another forensics company figured out how to break the encryption then a hacker will be able to do the same.
Now, the conspiracy theorist in me is suspicious of this move by the FBI. I have hunch that the feds may not have actually gotten into the phone but instead they are spreading misinformation so the bad guys don't rely on Apple products as a safe haven. The feds can probably crack Android devices so they could be intentionally orchestrating this whole story as a means to drive the terrorists to Android by making them think it's more secure than Apple now.
As the phone was likely used in commission of a crime, Apple should have stepped up and helped.
The grand trick is how to do it without opening Pandora's Box.
But now Apple wants to know how the DOJ cracked it and I gotta admit, I find that funny as hell.

There's no evidence to suggest this phone was used in a crime. It was simply a phone provided by the terrorist's employer but you can't assume it was used to commit a crime.
