A few years back I saw a plane that was behaving very strangely, so I tried to take a photo. My phone shut itself off. Afterwards I tried to turn it back on and it was back to 20%. I’ve since wondered if our phones come with remote shutdowns.

Your battery was wearing out. The camera draws a lot of power and if a degraded battery can't output enough then a protection circuit will shut down the device below a voltage threshold.
