That isn't something that actually exists
Replace micro SIM with micro SD, and it can be done on android.
Still no. Plenty of references to SD card stuff in the main storage.

#33> Graphene OS has a duress password and PIN, which “will irreversibly wipe the device (along with any installed eSIMs) once entered anywhere where the device credentials are requested.” iOS kinda also offers such a solution, though a bit more suspicious to perform: "Erase all data on this iPhone after 10 failed passcode attempts"
But if the data is backed up on iCloud, Apple will provide it with a warrant.

At least on Android they've removed the ability to encrypt data stored on external media, so in exchange for the ability to do this you're carrying around everything unencrypted (except what individual apps might encrypt themselves).
This is not true at all, adopted storage is encrypted.
It seems like I was wrong about the platform support, but in fact some OEMs like Samsung have disabled it.

Most of the budget / midrange devices likely to have SD card slots do support it though.

Turn on Advanced Data protection, which encrypts it so Apple can give them the data, but they don't have the keys to decrypt it. Doesn't help if the other person you're talking to doesn't have it turned on though.

But how will they prove which Apple account was just wiped from that iPhone?

iPhones have unique identifiers. So do you, via your set of emails used. The email maps to the iCloud account, which then maps to the iPhone. It would be trivial to map a backup to an iPhone.

Ah yes that makes sense, they can retrieve the iPhone's serial number and warrant Apple to handover the associated iCloud backup.
