I think there's a typo in the story, the 2nd to last paragraph reads like the forensic investigator Wilhelm broke into their own phone.

Chances of police cracking an iPhone with Lockdown and SDP enabled?
Police took my phone 4 months ago for a minor offence so I imagine that it’s low on their priority list and not going to get their strongest resources/effort thrown at it. It was an iPhone 13 with lockdown and SDP enabled and an alphanumeric password. They took it while it was in AFU. I don’t know if my country has the technology to block the BFU reset (GrayKey Preserve?) but I think there’s a chance that even if they did, the SDP/Lockdown mode would have blocked the connection. So if it could last 3 days without any successful connection it will have gone into BFU which would increase my chances even more. If I recall correctly SDP requires faceID to trust any computer even ones already trusted by the phone and lockdown mode already disables the usb data port while the phone is locked. Also lockdown mode is supposed to reduce the software vulnerabilities/amount of code running on the phone which may block any AFU exploits if they even established a connection. I see 3 scenarios: 1. they were able to bypass the lock via AFU exploit 2. they were able to block the BFU reset but can’t run any AFU exploit 3. they couldn’t block the BFU reset or run an AFU exploit and now need to brute force in BFU mode What do you guys think? The phone was on the latest iOS at the time. I think there’s a fair chance that the SDP and lockdown mode will have blocked any connection at least long enough for the phone to restart into BFU.

You can if they don't seize it, however not all BFU situations are equal and that is evident and demonstrable merely by glancing at GrayKey and Cellebrite capability tables.

GrapheneOS, Pixels & iPhones are separate categories for a reason. Its also why they can lump OEMs beyond that under Other.

1) Giving the agents a duress code and calmly watching them wipe the phone? Baller as hell.

1.1) Good thing they didn't have GrayKey.

(2) This case has major 4th (search and seizure) and 5th (being compelled to testify against yourself) amendment implications.
