"...given the number which is no where near how many iOS devices exist, and given Apple banned developers from using those IDs over 6 months ago, something makes me suspect the FBI was getting the IDs passed on to them from a shady app developer who was using the IDs to identify specific iOS devices who installed the app."
I don't know enough about Apple products to add much myself. However, isn't it broadly known that their app ecosystem is insecure enough that it could have been a very minor player acting poorly, rather than anyone major?
Corrupt App Developer...?

"...plays a role in his story. A snipped from that New Yorker piece..."
Just going by context, that should read "A snippeT from..."
More distressingly, there are errors in your transcription of the filing itself:
"Plaintiff contents that the actions taken against her constitution retaliation"
Should read "contenDs" and "constitutE".
Please feel free to correct and delete this. I don't need credit for catching these. Thanks.
