You said the Supreme Court has ruled that police can search your phone without a warrant. Then you link to a wired article and tell me the Supreme Court has refused to hear these cases.

The case that wired is referring to has nothing to do with searching a phone without a warrant. Law enforcement HAD a warrant in that case. The issue is whether they could unlock the phone with Face ID WITH a warrant.

The issue isn’t the 4th Amendment (police DO need a warrant or exigency to search a phone) but rather the 5th Amendment. Your face isn’t protected by the 5th Amendment.

ICE is already unlocking FaceID without a warrant - that is referenced in the article.
