Four digits, choice of 10 for each digit.

log(10000)/log(2) ~ 15.

You are not limited to four digits.

I see. Is there a limit? Does it approach 128 bits?

"Over 90 characters" [1]. At roughly 5 bits per character, that puts it at more than 450 bits.

You can choose to set a complex password which can be as long as you want and use the full keyboard

Did you factor in the possibility that after ten fails the device is wiped?

This would be for a cryptographic attack - not someone with the hardware.
