And you can set it so it deletes everything after ten unsuccessful attempts.
Android has an equivalent lockdown mode. Open the power menu by holding Power and Volume Up. Then select lockdown.

Don't forget to stand on your left leg and twist your right in a circular motion not to exceed 45 rpm.
Otherwise you need to start the panic mode process all over.
It's power + volume down for me, but a good top, thanks. Looks like it works even when the phone is (biometric) locked.
Can you rapid fire power button 5 times faster than a nazICE agent can rapid fire a submachine gun at you?
