From the article:
And, two technical experts told The Daily Beast, the company could do so with the phone used by deceased San Bernardino shooter, Syed Rizwan Farook, a model 5C. (It's not clear what version of operating system the phone had installed.)
Isn't this the phone in question? The phone from the San Bernardino shooter?

The key is not the model of the phone, but the version of the operating system. If it is iOS 8 or later, they are out of luck.

Isn't this the phone in question? The phone from the San Bernardino shooter? The iPhone 5C was the iPhone in the San Bernardino case. It was running the latest version of iOS 9.1, which is fulling encrypted. The one they were discussing in NY was an iPhone 4S running iOS 7, no encryption at all. Unlocking it merely required a reset by Apple.
