The general take
George Kurtz acknowledges that iPhones are safer than regular computers due to their architecture, but he's realistic about the limits of that security—nation states with enough resources and motivation can find ways in if they really want to. It's a measured take that avoids both blind trust and doom-saying.

…discussing iphone security relative to other devices and state actor attacks
“I mean, I would say, you know, an iPhone is safer than just a regular computer because of the way it runs. But, you know, if you look at the nation states and some of the creative ways they can actually get into a phone, as an example, if they want to get in bad enough, they're going to get in.”

…discussing tech gadgets brandon uses daily
“What's a tech gadget that's not Starkey that you use or love almost every day? Oh, you know, I just almost blurted out my, well, my electric toothbrush, but it was just in my mind before we got off. But of course, an iPhone, who doesn't love that?”
