They can, if they wanted to, look into the metadata of the things you do over any ISP.
They cannot, as of yet, take your physical phone and unlock it to investigate the files/materials you keep on your phone if it is encrypted. That's what this is about. Our government (then China and Russia) wants Apple to create a back door with a key, and then let the government have the key. If this key is made, then the entire world will know about it from the high profile nature of this case.
The information that can be gained from these terrorist phones is not as important as the data security for everyone else. Not even close.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
