I realized they might have added a fake reboot menu. So either use the exploit yourself to check it's the real bootloader (no realistic chance the FBI made a fake bootloader exploit in the fake reboot menu) or let the battery run out or remove it.

Nobody is going to add a fake reboot menu

All Apple mobile devices I've used have had some form of low-level forced reboot method, akin to holding down your PC's power button. Though I can't say whether it's also something one could subvert with a BootROM exploit.
