If you give your phone to an adversary with large amounts of resources it is game over.

If you have to worry about that I most certainly would hope that you wouldn't leave your phone to a repair-shop.

Everyone keeps parroting this like it's 1995 but infinite resources doesn't really help you. In the US FBI case they happened to chain a few now patched exploits in the lightning port that did nothing except allow them the ability to brute force the password. Had the password been strong it would have been game over.

Regular, run of the mill encryption you can download at every corner store can withstand attacks from nation states.

Zero-days are a thing, as well as companies that find them specifically to sell to governments

[chasd00]

well, depending on the adversary, the resources required could be trivial.

Or leave your MacBook at a repair shop with texts and emails to various VIPs, etc on it… oh wait.
