I worked for a private company in computer forensics. We had two machines, expensive machines, dedicated to accessing phones. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess the FBI has something similar, if not better, at their disposal.
Were the machines always successful? If not, how often did they fail and why? Was there a difference between Android or iPhones?
Short of the device being damaged, they were successful 100% of the time. No difference between manufacturers and platforms.

Basically all phone, iphone and Android
This is an arms race, at the moment the crackers are in the lead.
