All these solutions ignore the elephant in the room that if these measures are introduced, there is nothing stopping Russia, China, Iran or any other country also demanding the right to decrypt any phone.
Americans really need to stop view the world from an American only perspective.
I'd have thought the last thing Trump would want is the possibility of having to testify under oath, something the defense team would certainly demand.
This is actually very little to do with encryption or terrorism.
It's to do with making the tech companies look unreasonable and the Democrats (and indeed any opposition) along side them.
By shouting loudly that anyone with an opposing point of view is on the side of the terrorists, he can dirty the name of the opposition and show that he is on the of the "American" in the eyes of those who don't see (or care) about the truth. No change from the election.
There will be a signed unencrypted boot loader that will ask for a password, decrypt the main partition, and run the OS from there.
So, no, even with the phone in your possetion, and removing the memory chips, without the password, the encrypted partition would not be accessable without the use of a supercomputer and a lot of time.*
* Providing a decent encryption algorythm and long password have been chosen!

What you are missing here...
Brewdog is a superb marketing company that also brews reasonable beer.
It's marketing strategy has always lived on controversy; this article is a great example of that.
Why sue, when the world's media, both social and traditional, can provide all this great marketing for free!
Remember, this is the company that produced a beer served in a stuffed squirrel.
I would not be at all surprised if this was an agreed, planned out, marketing campaign between Brewdog and Aldi.
UltraWord
For those that haven't read them, I recommend the excellent Thursday Next series of books by. Jasper Fforde.
Those that have will recognise UltraWord from "The Well of Lost Plots" as startlingly similar to modern DRM in books.

I can't see this going anywhere.
