Password instead of pin/visual pin/fingerprint/face id. That is it. Nobody can break in without a backdoor.
At US border, if you refuse to unlock your phone you are immediately put into custody. All this bullshit is suprisingly ineffective with a gun pointed at your head.
GrapheneOS has a panic pin you can setup that when entered fully wipes the phone. You lose whatever was on it but that is the best "defense" I have seen so far.
Edit: not sure how thorough the wipe is but it would likely prevent access except through forensics.
