Same with android phones ...

Only if you've let Apple/Google have your data (I don't) or run your
own cloud/sync server (I do). Or use something like "My Phone
Explorer".

I'm *really* not sure I want to give
Apple or Google my phone book, etc.

Its completely safe with Apple, they can't even
give it to the FBI if the FBI demands it.

And you have Apple's word that it's all safe with them?

Nope, we know it is because they couldnt even give
it to the FBI when the FBI tried to **** them over
using the US legal system and make them do that.

no proof it wasn't given to google

Yes, there is, the FBI would have gotten it from
google instead of looking very stupid when
they couldnt make apple give them it.

or stolen by the chinese though

Trivial to prove that with some bait entries that never escape.
