He's not talking about going through the encryption.
He's talking about bypassing the encryption altogether.
Or also the fact that the fbi could already have a backdoor and could do this, without getting the right to a backdoor
Also for anyone that missed the youtube comment where he goes in more detail

I hope everyone knows that the Apple explanation was VASTLY dumbed down for the press. I know the A7 system chip well, including its secure enclave with separate coprocessor that stores the encrypted fingerprint, the ephemeral key generated by the co-processor that even Apple doesn't know, the secure enclave memory isolated from the rest of the processes on the chip, etc. Doesn't matter. The main ARM processor has its own memory and that's what I'm interested in. I will simply sidestep calling the secure enclave and pretend it doesn't exist. I'm not trying to get encrypted data, merely trying to force a complete boot of IOS. Trivial, given the fact that the entire A7 system chip has been expanded into a board with separate components for every subfunction of the chip. on the board, the secure enclave processor and it's memory are fully accessible, even though we won't need it. made in China.
