No, this was for a locked iPhone. They were after encrypted data-at-rest. Warantless surveillamce would not apply, as they had a warrant - I believe - seeing as they went after the iCloud data and said it was not helpful (No backup stored there).
Additionally, an OIG report seems to suggest they did not attempt their usual avenue for acquiring access tools in order to get in, instead trying to force a legal precedent.
