Wiping the phone doesn&#x27;t help you. Using the strong password renders the information inaccessible, at least as inaccessible as your phone backup is. Touch ID isn&#x27;t re-enabled until the phone&#x27;s passcode is used. Presumably if the authorities have access to your phone&#x27;s memory they also have access to your laptops, and neither will do them any damn good.<p>And it&#x27;s paranoia if there&#x27;s a legitimate threat, that&#x27;s just called due diligence. ;)
