Worse, iPhones immediately start backing up to iCloud when set up for a new user - the only way to keep your network passwords and all manner of other stuff from hitting iCloud servers is to set the phone up with no network connection or even a SIM card installed.
Did I mention there's no longer a SIM slot, so you can't even control that?
And that iPhones by default if they detect a 'weak' wifi network will switch to cellular, so you can't connect the phone to a sandboxed wifi network?
You shouldn't have to put your phone in a faraday cage to keep it from uploading plaintext versions of your private communications and network passwords.
right on their front page in giant font they declare “private” and “secure” when they’re neither. it’s telegram’s own fault they receive this criticism repeatedly—and they strangely constantly complain every time they’re publicly spanked and taken to task. theyre heavily insinuating (i call it it lying) to their users and then over and over crying because they get called out.
if they don’t want to be called out then they should quit insinuating those things, it’s dangerous af. they know they’re lying though, obviously they won’t stop. but omg i wish their users would run fast and run far—it’s like watching an abused person who keeps going back to their abusive partner “oh they mean well”… pffft, no, they really dont.
There is no crime in implementing or not of different encryption schemes.
Are these stored encrypted or in the clear? If the latter, please cite your source.

The default for many categories is that your keys are in iCloud so Apple can recover them for you. With Advanced turned on, the keys are only on your personal devices. A few categories, like the keychain, are always only on your devices.
Specifically, see Note 3: "If you use both iCloud Backup and Messages in iCloud, your backup includes a copy of the Messages in iCloud encryption key to help you recover your data." Under normal protection, Apple has the key to your backups, but with Advanced they don't.
Oh, you meant... oh.
After an MDM profile is created by someone technical, it can be emailed to the non-technical user and installed with a few clicks and passcode confirmation.
I thought MDM was only for enterprise businesses and schools and universities, but I may very well be mistaken about that.

If you're threat actor has the resource to break that, get a CC or a good lawyer on retainer I guess.
No way to add a WiFi profile, thus no way to use an iPhone as a remote. No ethernet available either.
Configured a WiFi profile, uploaded to the Apple TV and could finalize the setup.
It’s quite a powerful too for initial setup.
Yet, Apple tries to create an image that iPhone is a "secure" device, but if you use iCloud, they can give your contact list to government any time they want.
Apple by default doesn't use E2E for cloud backups, and Telegram doesn't use E2E for chats by default. So Telegram has comparable level of security to that of the leaders of the industry.
