Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking someone's device. At least for now.
No it doesn’t. It just locks the screen and requires passcode. It’s the same thing that happens if you hold power and volume to bring up the emergency call or power off screen.
It’ll also trigger a call to 911, which is gonna be hard to disable in your pocket
Edit: this is configurable behavior

I just tested on my iPhone and it does. Guessing it’s a setting.

Which setting is it?
Emergency SOS, few different settings in there that change the behaviour
It did for a hot minute. I just checked and it no longer does.
