Your iPhone 11 zeroizes the cryptographic key used for the user data partition. It doesn't have to wipe it per se, but rather it renders it eternally inaccessible; then it creates a new key and sets up a new filesystem right over top of the old one (which now just has random data in the unallocated space).

If you really think the encryption will never ("eternally") be broken, I have sad news for you: it will.

If AES is broken before your iPhone is destroyed then you have bigger problems than somebody reading your data.
