The link above says Apple is being asked to help bypass a potential auto-erase application that would allow the FBI to hack the login screen with brute force attempts. That seems to be a far cry from installing a backdoor on the iOS of all phones out of the box, no?
do you know how easily a 4 digit pin can be brute forced? you remove the self destruct feature and i can get in that phone in less than 10 minutes with open source tools.

This is true but remember there is also no guarantee the passcode used only 4 digits.

I'm aware, but if the self destruct feature can be removed on an existing phone already, then doesn't a flaw already exist?
ETA: Apple should clarify if they're saying they will not help the FBI find a backdoor to the auto-erase feature OR if a backdoor to the auto-erase feature does not exist in the first place.
If it is the latter, no big deal. If it is the former, then that is a problem IMO.
