OK, I'll bite. But only to get things going.

When you backup your phone to iCloud, the backup is encrypted. However, it is not encrypted with YOUR passcode, but with THEIRS.

Oh, ok, just for the hell of it. On iMessage, look up Cyril Cattiaux' opinion of their securety. A taste, maybe ?

When someone sends an iMessage, the iOS device pulls the recipient’s public key from Apple’s non-public key server to create the ciphertext, or encrypted message. The iMessage is decrypted by the recipient using their private key.

The problem is “Apple has full control over this public key directory,” Cattiaux said.

I'm sure you can unearth lots more information if you put your mind to it.
