How does an evil maid get past a locked iPhone or laptop? It’s really not that easy with a proper password and encryption right?

The threat is them implanting some sort of device that sniffs your password next time you type it. Then they come back at a later date for the password and unlock your gadget.

For a laptop with full disk encryption, there is the possibility of the attacker tampering with the hardware.
