For anyone concerned that authorities force you to give up your password to them (thus allowing them to image your device), you can pair your iPhone to a computer with a MDM (managed device profile), which will prevent any other device from connecting to it. iOS security researcher (now Apple employee) Jonathan Zdziarski has 2 blog posts on this:

- amckenna 9y agoThat's a great idea! Does anyone know if this technique works with iOS 10? The linked blogpost is for iOS 7 and 8
- dannyw 9y agoYes, the underlying technique has not changed and works for iOS 11 (beta). By the way, the writer of this post now works for Apple on their Security Architecture team. I would not be surprised if this change came from him.
- arkadiyt 9y agoIt still works great, however the linked post uses Configurator and Apple has since replaced it with Configurator 2, so some of the options and workflow are different now.
