Could Apple do what the FBI has inquired? - Dr Steven Murdoch cybersecurity master 

Its hard to say with any level of sureness - Apple does not unveil enough about its working framework to know. 

Other secure items for example savvy cards are composed so that the security cant be changed after they leave the manufacturing plant. 

A few gadgets for example bank PCs wipe themselves on the off chance that you attempt to change the product.
