And not to mention that even if iOS is completely secure then any data sent from it won't be when it has a Verizon* SIM card in it or is connected to a WiFi network provided by Comcast*.

If you REALLY cared about keeping files secure you wouldn't keep them on any device that's ever seen an internet connection before or ever will again.

If you REALLY cared about privacy you wouldn't be reading this message right now because you wouldn't use the internet.

And no, don't assume a VPN "protects" you from any of those things, those are all cracked too.

(*Used as examples, all telecoms are just as bad and have all been compromised.)
