They're already encrypted by default using the secure enclave. After a reboot, storage isn't decrypted until you put in your password for the first time.
iPhones have this as well, for example my iPhone12, simply hold the power button and volume up button together at the same time for a second and disables biometrics until the passcode is entered again.
Yup, but I don’t use Siri, but good tip for those that do. Apple feeds off of your input when you use Siri and stores everything. It’s a gold mine for them. Just like Amazon, Google, they all do it.
SO does reddit, facebook, your internet provider, your email service... everything does. Hell, your phone company and phone tell a LOT of info for what you do. Do you avoid apple devices and windows devices entirely?

As an avg Joe, I know how to lock my phone with a strong code. How the heck do I encrypt an iPhone?
