I think that's fine; albeit a potentially awkward conversation, I personally would rather have known "hey, here's what you can get into, here is what is private" but we never talked about it at all.

Especially important to communicate that in your case, on the off chance they want to hire a data recovery firm in some hope of saving wedding photos or something

I share any photos with them they might want, but I hopeful that Apple's security setup prevents any practical data recovery. I know my family too well, if I explicitly said "this is private" they'd be trying to get in the moment I was cold.

There's nothing bad on my devices, but there's lots they don't need to know about me.

Imagine once bronies age enough that they kick the bucket en masse and their families spend tens of thousands on data recovery only to discover "damn, that's a lot of horse porn."
