> On iOS, there is no full-disk or full-volume encryption, only varying levels of file-based encryption, partially dependent on third-party developer choices, such that what is, and isn’t, encrypted (with encryption tied to the user passphrase) is not always clear to the end-user.

I'm not sure about this, either; all recent iOS devices have a DMA AES engine that performs encryption on anything that travels between storage and memory.

Yeah, that’s completely and obviously fucking wrong and makes me question this person’s skills to be honest.
