You can't even trust that it's your phone; it wouldn't be that hard in many cases to provide an identical-looking device that just records the entered PIN. It won't hold up to inspection once unlocked, but it doesn't have to; once you've provided the PIN, you've lost.
If the device has left your possession, don't accept it back or interact with it. Get a new device, and restore it from backup.
Also, if you fill out the emergency contacts in your phone, you can call those contacts without unlocking your phone.
- kelnos 5y agoThere's an easy defense against this: when you're handed the phone, intentionally enter a passcode that isn't yours. If it unlocks, then you'll immediately know it isn't your phone, and won't have given away your passcode. If it doesn't unlock, it's probably your phone.

- xvector 5y agoSiri has had vulns before that allow device access from the lockscreen. Best to disable it entirely if this is your threat model.
