I'm wondering if Stolen Device Protection is turned on and the owner of the iPhone dies, how would family members be able to access the phone? Would it just be a brick?
iPhone 14 Plus
I’d expect the iPhone to be able to be reset by the holder of the Apple ID, but that its contents might or would be lost.
Here are the two related support articles:
… How to add a Legacy Contact for your Apple ID - Apple Support
… How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple account - Apple Support
Using iCloud Photos, iCloud backups, and such avoid some (most?) data loss, when resetting the device passcode.
