Android for a while has a feature called "lockdown" where you can force a password entry instead of a fingerprint for the next unlock. Takes a little forethought but it's easy enough to remember when going through customs or being pulled over.

Simply squeezing a modern iPhone pressing both side and volume buttons at the same time has this effect.

Apple devices require non-biometric auth after boot. Turning my phone off in those situations has worked for me.

It's the same with Android.
