If Apple gives in and creates a backdoor for the FBI, I'm certain other software products will be forced to do the same. Eventually.

if anything our own government is the real terrorists and word going around is they really wanted this special ios version so they could get there way into all iphones and possibly ipads as well since the modified firmware would be stored on FBI servers

Where did you hear this from? The government only wanted the iPhone to find evidence in regards to ISIS, but Apple refused their help in fear that they'll abuse this practice to other companies in the future.

The FBI has successfully recovered data from the iPhone 5C by some unknown method a few days ago but now the US government are saying that they will use the precedent set by the iPhone case to force any software company to disable security measures in order to grant government access. This was all despite previous statements from officials that the iPhone unlocking case was just for a single device.

So apparently the FBI had paid $1.3 million just to get the iPhone hacked with the data they were looking for. That's quite a lot, but with that much money being involved, it still scares me at the kind of resources the government would go for in terms of breaching security of mobile phones now.
