They can't force you to tell them your PIN in some countries, but they can try all PINs, and they can search your desk drawer to find the post-it where you wrote your PIN.

Good PINs are ones you're not allowed to brute force. You can easily configure an iPhone to wipe itself after too many wrong guesses. There's a single checkbox labeled "Erase Data", saying "Erase all data on this iPhone after 10 failed passcode attempts."
You bet I have that enabled.
My toddler would wipe my phone with that on
We each have our own threat models. Toddlers are high on that list, to be sure.
They can also hold you in a jail cell until the end of time until you give it up, in many places.
