They couldn’t unlock it. If they could, or if the criminal had used iCloud backup, they’d have done it instantly.
What the FBI wanted was for Apple to make a “rooted” iOS version and update the phone with it, and that version would give them access to everything on it.
Apple didn’t want to do it because that iOS version could be used to get into any iPhone and it would’ve destroyed their image with their customers. Also, legally they could not be compelled to make a break-in tool.
Anyway, it was all for their own protection not for the principle of privacy.
