No. You are suggesting that we should trust Apple (why?) and upload all our data to their cloud. By why cannot we just keep our data on our phone without sharing them with anyone.

Nothing stops Apple from becoming a new Google. And nothing stops NSA from installing backdoors in Apple's data centers as they did with Google.

So what’s your threat model here? Are you worried about being targeted individually or in aggregate?

In aggregate it’s not clear that the risks of putting your data in the cloud are as dire as everyone fears. If your worried about being targeted individually then you’re already screwed. There’s no way a single individual can guard against state level actors.
