On the iPhone you can also press both the upper left and right button. It will enable that you can only log in with a password, even if you have Face ID/Touch ID.
You can also establish that if there are too many false attempts to log in, the phone will delete all data. I could imagine that if you kept most phone data on the phone itself, rather than in the cloud, this can be useful. E.g. insert the password wrongly multiple times.
And if you're feeling really concerned, you can make a Faraday cage (preventing it from sending data altogether). Wrap a plastic bag around, then aluminium foil tightly without gaps, then plastic.. repeat three times.
Alternatively, put it in a microwave. Or a stainless trash can with a tight lid, lining the inside with (optional: cardboard first, then..) plastic wrap, maybe more foil. Phone also foiled.
