That's one point of privacy.
Meanwhile, they protect vast amounts of your data with encryption, especially if you opt in to the most protection.
I don't have any wish to promote Apple, but those are not comparable. Even though I have hated Apple's closed App Store policy.
What do you mean by your data being protected by vast amounts of encryption? Can you verify those claims beyond trusting what Apple tells you? Isn’t the commenter above insinuating that a targeted individual can be compromised anyway?
The amount of money you can get for a iPhone 0day confirms it.
If they were playing fast and loose with cryptography and encryption, we'd have a lot more exploits in the open.
What do you mean by that? I don't think this follows at all.

Less than for an Android 0day then. Yes, it's quite telling.

The problem is that you cannot opt-out of the Apple Account.
Which means that targetted attacks are trivial if the attacker possesses the resources.
