In the case of Apple vs the FBI there are many things to take into consideration. As explained by Apple's CEO Tim Cook creating the tool which the FBI is requesting would be dangerous to the general public. This tool if in the wrong hands would destroy the idea of privacy for all iPhone users. If Apple were to create a backdoor tool everyone's personal data would be at risk. As the cartoon below demonstrates once you open an iPhone once it becomes a Pandora's box for not only the FBI but potentially the highest bidder to open up any iPhone one chooses.
Data on anyone's device belongs to them. It is the same concept as a house, you own everything inside of it. There is no reason it should be any different with digital data. Additionally it should not matter if you are a terrorist or not. At the end of the day it comes down to one vs all. If one person has information the could cause enough other people harm then it is reasonable to break into their digital data/home. Otherwise that person's data should not be tampered with.
