And it would have been costly if they would have had to fight it in court.

And frankly, I would prefer that a company like Apple who will fight for privacy rights remain healthy and not have to fight in court for those rights. Meanwhile, there is little doubt that they will further secure their products in the future.

Plus, if I were them, I would sue the DOJ to obtain the technique used to break the iPhone so I could secure the hole that was exploited by the hack.
