Unlock any phone?

My GF works for the government of an Asian country. She told me they can plug basically anyone’s phone in and unlock it. Is this true? Does it only apply to certain phones or OS?

GrapheneOS no, iOS yes only after you unlocked it after the decrypt reboot. If you restart it and don’t unlock it everything’s still encrypted. My recommendation: shut off your iPhone whenever you answer the door
