The reverse of the trust issue is also true though - I lost what trust (not a lot admittedly) and respect I had for Apple when they refused to co-operate with the FBI.

Going back to what you said about the FBI having a duty to advise Apple of the method so that Americans aren't attacked using it; isn't this the same as the duty they had to protect Americans as best they could from terrorism by asking Apple to unlock the phone? I believe it is.

Agreed. I wouldn't expect the FBI to divulge to Apple the details of how they hacked the phone.
