It's not self-destruct, but you can quickly lock your phone if you are worried about handing your phone to an adversary.
Quickly press the power button 5 times. This makes it so you have to enter your passcode to use the phone (ie no biometrics).
The phone can probably still be accessed via rubber-hose cryptanalysis.
