Never, but never, in any situation should you give a police officer a turned-on mobile phone. First, turn it off and then hand it over. It’s as simple as saying, “Hey Siri, turn off phone,” and then confirming. Once this is done, the phone is indistinguishable from a brick in terms of stored information. If you hand it over turned on but locked, there are several police devices that can unlock it and copy the information it contains.
