    iphone cloud backups are encrypted, and can be turned off very easily. Local backups to a pc can also be encrypted if you want.

      That didn’t stop Apple from handing over backups to the FBI that were swiftly decrypted after several high profile incidents (like the San Bernadino shooting), and I assume it would be even less difficult for them to fork over info for another Snowden if they use Apple products.
