afaik you can update your locked iPhone with a Mac or Windows in iTunes... but it will still require a passcode after update, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nope, the ”trust this computer” dialog needs you to enter your passcode before any other actions are possible

This can be bypassed by putting the phone in DFU mode.

Probably the only hope is jailbreaking.

Jailbreaking a locked, inaccessible iphone?

Keep in mind that everyone else is usually unaware (by design) of what all the intelligence agencies can do, but I doubt they would help in this scenario even if they could.

On the other hand, if this happens to a far more important person...

[cachius]

Jailbreaking is dead.
