if it will possible to break it (ie loading a special ios on it), not long and everyone can do it...

It is possible all encryption has a key, if it didn't encryption wouldn't work. And there are hackers whose lives are dedicated to creating these keys, and finding exploits. Like pirating games/programs, it is only a matter of time before they are cracked that is why the programs are made to be updated now a days to help stave off these people as long as possible. With any encrytion there is a possiblilty of making an external key but such a key usually isn't made since it does pose threats, and for the company is unneeded.

This case isn't about if it is possible, but if Apple has to do it. And in my previous post I wrote down it is actually in Apple's best interests to do it, if they are really concerned about the implication of such a key being misused, but to place restrictions on the use of the key. With the biggest being the key doesn't leave the tech compay the key is used for.

yes every encryption has a key, i know that. and the stronger the encryption the longer it takes to try to decrypt. so if apple is forced to bypass somehow the encryption by a "master key", who says no one can use this? or who should be able to use it? all goverments of the world? i even dont know how a master key would work. i mean there is just one key to decrypt, so you need to do something extra (a leak or something) to get the data without the key. So hackers can use this aswell.
