No, Apple is Apple. My guess is that one of the many people who've been saying you can image and reload the phone's memory card finally got the attention of someone in the litigation juggernaut. Note that this is consistent with the Brooklyn decision in which the judge said the FBI had told him in other cases that they could unlock a 5C. It's hard to tell whether it also means that they were worried that the wind was blowing the wrong way and they'd rather have no decision than an unfavorable one.
