In fact, Apple has doubled down on security and encryption to ensure
even Apple employees can`t access your private information - even going
so far as to design Advanced Privacy Protection and Lockdown Mode into
its products for those who are truly concerned with maintaining every
aspect of their privacy:

My wife and I owned the iPhone 4 at the time. We had friends with them
as well. Come of us used cases, others didn`t (though most of us were

issues.
