Even this one? “ you die and haven't gone through the complication of setting up a way for your heirs to gain control of your accounts.”

I think this one is actually possible, they have policy for letting loved ones into accounts.

Better to be sure and write the account password in the will.

Who has this policy? The blockchain??

Apple

Well now, sounds like you’ve just given centralized control to a third party. Guess your keys aren’t your keys after all.

Keys are still safe in your phone. It’s an encrypted backup. Random Apple employees can’t get to the private key.

I’m not interested in goalkeeping both sides of the convenience-security spectrum. Bury your keys in a tin can if you want, or custody at an insured exchange if that’s your preference. I think installing say Rainbow Wallet is a fine choice.
