If these are implemented in software it'd be possible to brute force offline and bypass the timeout

  I watched a video where they had the iphone cracked open and slightly modified in a way that would allow them to reset the storage to brute force quickly without timeouts.

    That shouldn’t be (at least easily) possible on newer iPhones anymore. The counters are now in rollback-protected dedicated memory; the lockout is implemented in the secure enclave.

      Sure, but this is all protected by dubious hardware that often gets cracked. A text password is protected by pretty sound math.
