Correct, though it still is saved somewhere. Just like how TPMs in Computers can be exploited as well, this also can be. What I meant in my original comment was that the emergency mode did not clear that hardware chip’s storage and do a full encryption of the storage, which others said otherwise.
Ah. Then yeah, emergency mode won’t suffice for protecting the full contents of the disk.
I can’t say Apple actually does this, but it is possible to protect important data by further encrypting user data with a separate encryption key derived from the passcode, and then clearing the key whenever the screen is locked.
