Police also no longer have to read Miranda Rights unless you are under-age, They only need to read you your rights once they start to question you over and above the standard questions needed to ID you. Most will do it at that time to ensure its done but there is no legal requirement unless they intend to question you.
Yes, when youre under arrest they can search your phone.
