I was wondering this awhile ago too. There are ways but it's pretty hardcore stuff from what I can tell. It's basically a lost cause at that point. Some solutions involve using $30,000+ laser machines to manipulate the hardware physically and cause glitches in the locking. But even then the devices have self-destruct mechanisms to detect tampering. Not like the phone explodes, but they self-destruct the cryptographic keys needed to unlock the bootloader, and then you're stuck trying to brute force in by guessing keys, which most likely will take literally a million years.

thats pretty aggressive to unlock it, i dont think non-tech saavy people will go for it.
