If Apple can access the data on that phone, other people can also (meaning a determined hacker or a foreign government). If Apple refuses to hack the phone, but announces that they COULD hack it (which I think they did), other entities will search for ways to access data on iPhones. I would not be surprised if the NSA can already hack an iPhone.
