Apple owns the code and all it's visibility - you're not allowed to see it.

They don't need a 0 day to compromise your device, they can just choose to do it at any point. You're simply trusting they don't.

  • If the attack is targeted, it doesn't matter.

    Again, you're just trusting Apple not to do that. Please bear in mind that if the government asks, it's not like they have a choice.

      You can turn on the extra protections and encryptions yourself at the cost of user experience.
