Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking someone's device. At least for now.

From 9to5mac:

Lockdown Mode limits a wide range of system features and connections, including blocking most message attachments, restricting certain web browsing technologies, limiting FaceTime calls from unknown contacts, preventing device connections unless the device is unlocked, and turning off configuration profiles and device management enrollment.
