For those comming from All, Cellebrite is a product that the police use to unlock mobile phones during investigations.

Not iPhones running 17.4+, evidently
Correct, that is indeed what the article says.
Is there any way to harden Android devices as they are? Will another OS support full disk encryption?
GrapheneOS has a feature which makes the USB-c port inactive unless the phones unlocked. I'd think this would be a preventative for cellebrite.
That's interesting! Difficult to test, but in theory that should work. Unless they have a countermeasure for that.
From developer mode it is possible to change the defaults so it only charges instead of enabling data access, would this help?
Sounds very similar to the settings option I referenced. Since I use my phone for music in my car via USB-C, it'd would prevent me from playin tunes and adding more music to my library. So I just set it to need to be unlocked for any data transfer. But this could do the job too I'd think.
