If a Mac has a T2, M1, or M2 chip, its APFS container will be protected by hardware-encoded encryption key that's not accessible outside of the Mac.
This is a block-level encryption, not an end-to-end disk or volume encryption. As far as I'm aware, it cannot be disabled and requires the APFS container to be read in situ.
@sdckey we've just published an article on Apple T2 encryption today 🙂

Digital Collector from Cellebrite can take an image of the data partition on a macbook if you have the credentials.
